Everton's potential new owners 777 Partners are "the right people" to take over the Premier League club, majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri has said.

An agreement is in place for 777 Partners to buy Moshiri's 94% stake, but the purchase is subject to Premier League, Football Association and Financial Conduct Authority approval.

Everton's Fan Advisory Board has published a list of questions it wants 777 Partners, which has involvement with seven other clubs around the world, to answer.

Moshiri told Sky Sports: "The more time that I have spent with the 777 team, the more my confidence increases that we have found the right people to take the club forward in the modern era.

"They are highly professional and deliver exactly when they say they will, and I look forward to them achieving all their regulatory approvals and proceeding to completion on the timetable we set."
