I could sponsor them. I could be a shareholder,” Usmanov was quoted as saying by the Financial Times. “They’re going to build a new stadium. Why not the USM Arena?” Everton, who sacked Marco Silva as manager and appointed Carlo Ancelotti last month, are 11th in the league with 25 points from 21 games.
