Everton owner Farhad Moshiri "encouraged" by start to season

Everton owner Farhad Moshiri has spoken positively about the team's start to the Premier League season.

The Merseyside outfit are unbeaten in the top flight having recorded a draw and three wins on the bounce.

Moshiri bought a 49.9% stake in the Toffees in February and provided funds to sign seven new players, as well as keep Romelu Lukaku.

There was a managerial shakeup as well, with Ronald Koeman replacing Roberto Martinez, who is now in charge of the Belgium national team.

"I am very encouraged by the strong start we have made to the season which is our equal best since the start of the Premier League," Sky Sports News quotes Moshiri as saying.

"Whilst there is a long season ahead, the players have adapted very well under the leadership of our new manager Ronald Koeman and we look forward to maintaining our momentum and a successful season."

Everton's next game is against Middlesbrough at Goodison Park on Saturday.
