Advantage Capital Holdings LLC has made a proposal to invest in Everton FC, people familiar with the matter said, adding another unexpected twist to the takeover saga surrounding the English Premier League football club.

New York-based A-Cap and a partner firm have submitted a plan that would see them refinance all of Everton’s existing debt and then take a non-controlling equity stake in the club, according to the people, who asked not to be identified discussing confidential information.
