The Friedkin Group now believe they have sealed a deal to bring in a top off-field target to Everton, according to a recent report.
Everton make it seven unbeaten in the league
It is now back-to-back draws for the Toffees, as they played out a 1-1 with Brentford this week, despite in-form forward Beto having a few one-on-one chances to get Everton ahead in the game. But they had to settle for a point at the end, which makes them seven unbeaten in the league and now 15 points clear of the bottom three.

Worse than Beto: Moyes must drop 6/10 Everton star who had 0 shots
The Everton forward endured a frustrating evening against Brentford on Wednesday.
After the game against Brentford, David Moyes was happy with the result, given he doesn’t have a good record against the London side. “I am happy with that because I have never had a good record here. Thomas Frank is a good manager. I thought we were at least worthy of a point today. Beto had three one-on-ones with the goalkeeper, and we did not score any of them.
“I was really disappointed with the players at half-time because we conceded from a set-piece that way. We try to prepare for it but did not deal with it very well.
“The game was really slow in the first half. I thought it suited us. We had the best chances with Beto through on goal. In the second half, we saw a lot more of the ball, and we were the bigger threat in the second.”
Friedkin confiden Kinnear will join Everton
So while Everton continue to pick up points and climb the table on the pitch, The Friedkin Group are working on off-field appointments, and according to Graeme Bailey, Everton are now confident that a deal is done to bring Angus Kinnear to the club from Leeds.
The report states that while Kinnear remains well respected at Elland Road by the 49ers and chairman Paraag Marathe, there is real confidence from TFG that he will be at Goodison Park for the start of next season, as he is believed to be interested in a fresh start elsewhere.
The Friedkin Group are looking for a new CEO to help the club turn around their fortunes both on and off the pitch as they kickstart their new era at Bramley Moore Dock.
Kinnear has emerged as a target after helping Leeds become a Premier League team again and now one of the best sides in the Championship. Kinnear has overseen many roles at Leeds during his eight years at Elland Road, from working on transfers to overseeing their stadium expansion project. So, his departure will be a big miss for Leeds, especially when it is expected that they will be in the Premier League next season.
Kinnear is expected to come in at Everton and work closely with Moyes, who will hope his new CEO can provide the backing and support he will need as Everton move into their new stadium and look to climb the table and move closer to those European places.
