Why Everton could be the new Manchester City

It’s tough to ignore the impact that Premier League club Everton have had on the summer transfer window this time around.

Signings like Davy Klaassen from Ajax, Michael Keane from Burnley and Jordan Pickford from Sunderland have been the first real investment since the Toffees bought Maraoune Fellaini for £15 million in 2008.

That same year, another club rose to become a force in football: Manchester City. The Abu Dhabi United group purchased 90% of Manchester City’s shareholdings in September 2008 for £210 million.

While that move transformed Manchester City into a rich football giant, under majority owner Farhad Moshiri, Everton could well be on the same path.

This video (below) from uMAXit Football examines the parallels between the two clubs.
