Everton

<p>Everton have confirmed that Christopher Sarofim will join the club's ownership group, Roundhouse Capital. The billionaire's company, Fayez Sarofin and Co, manage assets worth over $31 billion (£23bn), and the appointment is designed to allow the Toffees to access more sources of funding, per <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/football/2025/apr/23/everton-christopher-sarofim-new-investor-us-billionaire" target="_blank">The Guardian</a>.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Sarofim is said to have a personal wealth of over $3.7bn (£2.7bn) but his money is not going directly into the club and is instead going into Roundhouse.
