Everton cult hero Victor Anichebe
Everton cult hero Victor Anichebe
The Nigerian forward is already a cult hero at the Hill Dickinson Stadium after his exploits between 2006 and 2013.
The 38-year-old notched 26 goals and 17 assists in 168 matches with the Toffees, after graduating from the academy.
He spent time with Sunderland, West Brom and Beijing Enterprises Group FC after leaving the L3 outfit.
Since retiring in the summer of 2018, he founded Lumira Group, a holding company that invests in sport, education, healthcare and infrastructure in the United Kingdom.
The 11-cap international could help out David Moyes' side with his latest venture.
What is Victor Anichebe's latest venture?
Anichebe is the leading name in a consortium attempting to buy League One outfit Bromley.
The Lilywhites are 24th in the division, and recently sacked manager Andy Woodman, after a miserable start to the campaign.
A report from talkSPORT on Wednesday claims that the African consortium is set to takeover at Hayes Lane.
It states that the group are in final negotiations with current owner Robin Stanton-Gleaves to purchase the Greater London team.
If the deal is ratified by the Football League, and becomes official, it may lead to a line-up with his former side.
Why Anichebe buying Bromley can help Everton's academy talents
The Blues have shown a willingness to loan out their most promising youngsters.
The likes of Adam Aznou, George Pickford, Douglass Lukjanciks, Joel Catesby and Luca Davis are out on loan at the moment.
They are at Malaga, Fylde, Southport, Accrington Stanley and Morecambe respectively.
If Anichebe takes over at Bromley, it may give the Toffees one club where they can send a couple of youngsters, rather than spreading them out across divisions.
The Lagos-born striker still follows the Blues, and commented on Malik Olayiwola's performance against Bournemouth's Under-18's, just a few weeks ago.
He may well look to his former club to take young talent like Olaywiola to help the Ravens escape their current situation, and stay in the third-tier.
It would be mutually beneficial, Anichebe and his fellow backers would get top prospects to help them climb up the table, while Finch Farm gems get crucial senior game time.
