Everton’s incoming owner John Textor is set to make “big” funds available in the January window, sources have told Football Insider.
Textor is closing in on a buyout at Goodison Park with Aliya Capital Partners backing his bid to replace Farhad Moshiri at the helm.

But with Everton pointless after a miserable first four Premier League games of this term, the US investor could have his work cut out to right the ship on Merseyside.
Sources say Textor is likely to provide ample transfer backing for Sean Dyche and his recruitment team in January.
It is believed his links with Ligue 1 side Lyon will also be utilised mid-season with Orel Mangala already joining the Toffees on a season-long loan deal.
