Everton have entered a strategic partnership with Japanese J1-League club Nagoya Grampus as part of efforts to grow the club’s reach in Asia.

Everton CEO Angus Kinnear told The Echo: “It is a true honour for Everton to be entering into a special partnership with Nagoya Grampus. This partnership reflects Everton’s ambition to build purposeful, rewarding and long-term relationships with organisations and clubs who share our values and vision.

“Nagoya Grampus is an organisation with a deep community focus and a clear commitment to development, and we’re excited about the opportunities this collaboration presents across football, commercial growth and social impact. We look forward to learning from each other and delivering meaningful benefits for both clubs – and our respective communities.”

Previous links with the Japanese club include former Everton striker, Gary Lineker, who finished his playing career at Nagoya Grampus Eight in 1994. Current links are strong between The Friedkin Group and Toyota, who own the club, Nagoya Grampus also having a strategic partnership with AS Roma for the last 3 years.

Good. There is plenty of talent in Japan and they come cheap.
