The Russian billionaire told the Financial Times that he was "thinking about my investment into this club" and that he was open to the possibility of purchasing the naming rights to Everton's new stadium.

Usmanov, a long-time business partner of Everton's owner, Farhad Moshiri, has previously tried to acquire Arsenal but ended up selling his 30 per cent stake in the club last year.
