Everton owner Farhad Moshiri happy with start to Premier League season

Everton owner Farhad Moshiri has expressed his happiness with his team's start to the Premier League season.

Moshiri bought a 49.9% stake in Everton in February to become part-owner of the club.

The Iranian businessman helped bring Ronald Koeman in as manager, made seven signings in the summer transfer window and managed to retain the services of striker Romelu Lukaku, who scored a hat-trick against Sunderland on Monday Night Football.
