Businessman Farhad Moshiri has insisted he purchased a major stake in Everton solely with his own funds after a BBC probe into his relationship with Alisher Usmanov, a shareholder in Premier League rivals Arsenal.
Sunday's (Nov 5) edition of the BBC's Panorama current affairs programme investigating the ownership of the Merseyside club was based on a huge new leak of financial documents dubbed the Paradise Papers.
Moshiri and Usmanov jointly held a 30 per cent stake in London club Arsenal before Moshiri sold his shares to Usmanov, Panorama said.
Moshiri insisted the money he used to buy his stake in Everton was his alone after Panorama asked him if it had originated from Usmanov.
"Of course it didn't," he said. "Not at all, no. It came from me. I had 10 per cent in a conglomerate way before I bought (into) Arsenal. That's my money."
He added: "A gift makes it yours. If it is a loan, you owe the money back to him; if it's a gift it is yours."
Iranian-born Moshiri said neither a loan nor a gift lay behind his purchase of the Everton holding.
Swansea City striker Tammy Abraham was one of three uncapped players named in a youthful England squad on Thursday for their forthcoming friendly matches against Germany and Brazil.
Abraham, who is on loan at Swansea, received his first call-up along with his Chelsea club-mate Ruben Loftus-Cheek, currently on loan at Crystal Palace, and Liverpool defender Joe Gomez.
"If I'm asking club managers to be brave and pick young players, I think I've got to do the same," England manager Gareth Southgate told journalists at a Wembley press conference.
Abraham, 20, has scored five goals in 13 games for Swansea this season.
Loftus-Cheek, 21, has played seven games for Palace, while 20-year-old Gomez has become Liverpool manager Jurgen Klopp's first-choice pick at right-back for Premier League games.
Southgate's side begin their preparations for next year's World Cup against world champions Germany at Wembley on November 10 before facing off against Brazil at the same venue four days later.
