Former Super Eagles striker, Victor Anichebe, is reportedly in advanced talks to acquire English League One club Bromley, in what could mark his first major investment in football club ownership.\n<\/p>\n
According to talkSPORT on Wednesday, the 38-year-old is leading a wealthy African group of investors negotiating with Bromley\u2019s owner, Robin Stanton-Gleaves, over a possible takeover.\n<\/p>\n
The discussions are said to be progressing, with both parties working towards reaching an agreement.\n<\/p>\n
The proposed acquisition comes at a challenging period for Bromley, who are struggling in their first season in League One following successive promotions from the National League in 2024 and League Two last season.<\/p>\n
The club\u2019s recent run of results has also raised concerns about its ability to retain its League One status.<\/p>\n
Anichebe\u2019s proposed takeover could provide fresh investment and a new direction as the South London club seeks to improve its position.\n<\/p>\n
The former Everton striker has developed an interest in sports investment since retiring from professional football in 2018.<\/p>\n
He is the founder and owner of Lumira Group, an investment company with interests in sports, education, healthcare and infrastructure in the United Kingdom. <\/p>\n
Anichebe was also recently linked to a proposed \u00a320m leisure development project in Liverpool.\n<\/p>\n
His interest in Bromley follows an earlier attempt to acquire non-league club Gateshead last year, although the proposed deal did not materialise.\n<\/p>\n
During his playing career, Anichebe featured in the Premier League, scoring 27 goals and providing 12 assists.\n<\/p>\n
At international level, he made 11 appearances for Nigeria\u2019s senior national team, scoring once.\n<\/p>\n
His only goal for the Super Eagles came in a 3-0 friendly victory over Kenya in 2011.\n<\/p>\n
He was also part of Nigeria\u2019s Under-23 team that won silver at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, scoring against Japan during the tournament.<\/p>\n
If completed, the Bromley acquisition would represent a significant step in Anichebe\u2019s transition from professional football to club ownership and sports investment.\n <\/p>\n
