Louis Saha considers investment in Everton FC

Former Premier League striker Louis Saha is considering a return to football as an investor. Having founded Axis Stars, a career management and networking company for celebrities and athletes, Saha has amassed an estimated fortune exceeding 5.1 billion euros.

Saha has expressed surprise regarding the decision by the Friedkin Group (TFG) to put Everton FC up for sale only two years after acquiring the club for over 500 million euros. Speaking to the Liverpool Echo, the former Everton player (2004–2012) noted that he viewed the club as an excellent investment opportunity due to its stable Premier League presence and its new stadium.

While Saha noted that the current instability regarding ownership might not immediately impact on-field performance, he questioned the owners' decision to sell. He highlighted that the club has a significant supporter base and a high-profile rivalry that continues to attract substantial attention.
