Crystal Palace part owner John Textor has confirmed he wants to sell his 45 per cent stake in the club to pursue a takeover of Everton.

The American met with Everton owner Farhad Moshiri in Liverpool on Wednesday after he had entered into dialogue a few weeks ago regarding the purchase of Moshiri's 94.1 per cent stake in Everton.

Textor also visited Everton's Finch Farm training ground on Wednesday.

But the Texan still needs to relinquish his shareholding in Crystal Palace before he can take over Everton, a process he has not confirmed he is undertaking.

A statement read: "We can confirm that we are interested in selling our interest in Crystal Palace, largely so that we can pursue a relationship with the Everton club and community."
