Jason Kidd, the double Olympic champion and 10-time NBA All-Star, has joined Everton's American ownership group. The Texas-based group completed its takeover of Everton in December 2024. Kidd, who also won the 2011 NBA Championship as a player with the Mavericks, is the latest high-profile American to invest in British football. Everton is set to move into a new stadium costing over £750m before the 2025-26 campaign. The club's executive chairman Marc Watts welcomes Kidd, expecting his knowledge and mentality to benefit the team.
