777 Partners have reaffirmed their interest in an Everton takeover by providing another multi-million pound loan to the club this week, sources have told Football Insider.

The US group have continued to provide financial support at Goodison Park while their takeover deal is assessed by the Premier League.

Money loaned to the club has covered wages, operating costs and stadium construction fees as they wait for full approval.

There have been concerns raised over 777’s source of funding and whether they can continue to fund the club in the long term.

As revealed by Football Insider, the Everton takeover deal with 777 Partners was on the brink of collapse after they explored an “emergency deal” to cover costs.

However, 777 Partners have responded to criticism by providing yet another loan to the Merseyside club, taking the total owed to over £210million.

It reaffirms their interest in completing a takeover but strikes a blow to any other parties interested in completing a takeover.

Moshiri struck an exclusivity deal with 777 Partners, granting them first priority to complete a takeover deal.

It is understood that 777 must repay loans to third-party companies including a £158million loan to MSP Sports Capital in order to gain approval for their takeover deal.

The deadline to repay the loans has been pushed back until mid May which is when the takeover deal is set to be finalised.
