Everton Football Club is focusing attention on a potential site for a new purpose-built stadium inside the city boundaries of Liverpool, Chief Executive Robert Elstone has said.
Last June, the Club revealed it was exploring a location for a potential new stadium in collaboration with Liverpool City Council.
A team of external advisors have been consulted on the proposed venture, with the viability of a 50,000 capacity new home under consideration.
'The stadium remains a big priority,' said Elstone. 'We're not ruling out any of the sites that we've identified and that the council has presented to us, but there is one site which is getting more attention and has been getting more attention for a number of months.
'It has been worked on very carefully, diligently and in some detail by not only Everton, but by the council and by advisors, planners, architects, designers, cost consultants, regeneration experts and solicitors. So there's a lot of work going into something that we're very excited about.'
