Ex-Super Eagles star Victor Anichebe set to purchase English Football Club
,.....
Former Nigeria international Victor Anichebe is leading a takeover bid for English Football League (EFL) division three club Bromley.
Anichebe, who featured for Everton and West Bromwich Albion in the Premier League, is spearheading discussions to buy the newly-promoted League One side in a major boardroom coup.
Bromley’s current majority owner Robin Stanton-Gleaves is locked in ongoing talks with the 38-year-old former Nigeria international.
The South London outfit are preparing for their first-ever season in English football’s third tier after two promotions in three years, and club bosses know they need a serious cash injection to compete at the higher level.
Anichebe spent over a decade plying his trade at the top level of English football. The powerhouse forward bagged 27 Premier League goals during top-flight spells with Everton, West Brom, and Sunderland.
Now, the former striker is making waves in the business world as owner of the Lumira Group. He recently backed a £20 million proposal for a massive new leisure development near Liverpool, proving funding will be no barrier as he looks to seal the Bromley deal.
