Victor Anichebe Linked with Gateshead FC Takeover
Former Sunderland and Everton striker Victor Anichebe has been linked with a shock move to take over Gateshead FC, a National League side. Reports from Chronicle Live and Express & Star suggest that Anichebe is part of a consortium eyeing the non-league club, sparking intrigue among football enthusiasts.
The 35-year-old Nigerian, who last played professionally for Derby County, has been out of the spotlight since his retirement in 2021. His potential involvement in the takeover of Gateshead FC could mark a new chapter in his career, transitioning from the pitch to club management.
Gateshead FC, currently competing in the National League, has remained tight-lipped about the rumors. The club's response, or lack thereof, has only fueled speculation about Anichebe's possible role. This development comes as a surprise to many, given Anichebe's high-profile playing career in the Premier League.
If the takeover goes through, it would be a significant move for Gateshead FC, potentially bringing in new resources and visibility to the club. Football fans and analysts alike will be watching closely to see if Anichebe can make a successful transition from player to club owner.
