Former Super Eagles striker Victor Anichebe is reportedly on the verge of completing a takeover of EFL League One club Bromley as he prepares to make his first major move into football club ownership.<\/p>\n
According to talkSPORT, the former Everton forward is leading a wealthy African consortium currently in advanced negotiations to acquire the Ravens.<\/p>\n
Anichebe, 38, is reported to be holding talks with Bromley owner Robin Stanton-Gleaves, with both parties working towards finalising an agreement.<\/p>\n
The proposed takeover comes at a difficult period for Bromley, who have struggled to adjust to life in League One despite enjoying a remarkable rise through the English football pyramid.<\/p>\n
The South London outfit secured promotion from the National League to League Two in 2024 before earning another promotion to League One at the end of last season.<\/p>\n
However, their first campaign in the third tier has been far from impressive, with the club currently occupying the bottom position in the league table.<\/p>\n
Bromley have managed just nine points from their opening 13 matches and possess the division\u2019s worst goal difference of minus 20.<\/p>\n
Their poor start to the season also resulted in the dismissal of manager Andy Woodman on October 22, bringing an end to his five-and-a-half-year spell in charge.<\/p>\n
Bromley have subsequently failed to win any of their three matches since his departure, leaving the club facing an early battle to avoid relegation.<\/p>\n
Anichebe\u2019s potential arrival could therefore mark the beginning of a new chapter for the club as they seek to establish themselves in League One.<\/p>\n
