Football financier Keith Harris is spearheading a bid to buy a 45 per cent stake in Crystal Palace - in a deal that could be worth close to £200m. Sky News has learnt that Harris is advising a group of businessmen, including Zechariah Janjua and Navshir Jaffer, on an offer to acquire the shareholding from Eagle Football, a vehicle created by American businessman John Textor and owner of a number of major clubs around the world.
Instead, Everton's long-standing owner agreed a transaction with Dan Friedkin, the owner of Italian Serie A side AS Roma. Eagle Football's other footballing interests include Lyon in France, Botafogo, who currently lead Brazil's top division, and RWD Molenbeek in Belgium. This week, the holding company issued a statement confirming it is preparing to file confidentially with US regulators ahead of a public listing in the first quarter of next year.
