Everton new stadium achievable within two years, says Mayor of Liverpool

Mayor of Liverpool Joe Anderson believes Everton could have a new stadium within two years.

Toffees chairman Bill Kenwright and billionaire majority shareholder Farhad Moshiri met with Anderson in London to discuss the possibilities of a replacement ground for Goodison Park.

The Everton-supporting Mayor tweeted: "Great meeting with Farhad. Still believe a new stadium in 2 yrs is achievable. #COYB."

The tweet was also accompanied by a photograph of the three men at the meeting.

Everton are looking at a docklands-based site or land at Stonebridge Cross in Croxteth after plans to develop on Walton Hall Park were abandoned in May, just two months after Moshiri bought into the club.
