Victor Anichebe leads consortium in talks to acquire Bromley FC

Former Everton and Nigeria international striker Victor Anichebe is reportedly in advanced negotiations to lead a wealthy African consortium in the takeover of EFL League One club Bromley. Anichebe is understood to be in talks with current owner Robin Stanton-Gleaves to finalize an agreement.

The potential acquisition comes during a challenging period for the South London club. After rapid successive promotions from the National League to League Two in 2024 and subsequently to League One, the Ravens have struggled to adapt to the third tier. The club currently sits at the bottom of the League One table, having secured only nine points from their first 13 matches.

Following a poor run of form, manager Andy Woodman departed the club on October 22 after five and a half years in charge. Bromley has yet to record a victory in the three matches played since his dismissal. Anichebe, who founded the investment firm Lumira Group, has been increasing his involvement in sports investment since retiring from professional football in 2018.
