John Textor has confirmed his intention to revive a bid to buy Everton.
The Crystal Palace co-owner previously expressed an interest in Farhad Moshiri’s 94.1% share before the Friedkin Group entered exclusivity talks.
But after his fellow Americans withdrew from talks to potentially take over at Goodison Park last month, Textor recently emerged as a fresh alternative.
Although the 58-year-old conceded that his shareholding at Selhurst Park does complicate matters, he confirmed a reignited interest in the Blues.
“Yes, we are looking at Everton along with everybody else,” Textor told the Daily Mirror.
“I would have to rationalise my interest in Palace before I could close anything.
“I am an Anglophile when it comes to football. When I see these legendary teams come along, some in the Premier League, some in the Championship, clubs that I grew up with, they have an appeal.
“They also have an appeal to our business model because if I follow these great teams, then so do athletes around the world.
“We are signing athletes down in Brazil right now because of the dream of playing on to Europe. It is important to have one of those great, authentic English clubs at the heart of our constellation of clubs.
“I say constellation not multi-club because I think every one of our clubs should be a champion. The feeder system doesn’t really work for us.
“But it does work that players from South, Central and North America all want to be here so it is important that we have a good partner in the Premier League as part of our family at Eagle.
“We will definitely keep looking until we find the right fit.”
