Shrewsbury Town's proposed takeover by American businessman Scott Davidson has a notable name attached to it — former USA goalkeeper Brad Friedel is reportedly involved in backing the deal, according to BBC News.
Details of the prospective takeover remain limited, but Friedel's participation adds weight to Davidson's bid for the League Two club. The former Liverpool, Blackburn and Aston Villa stopper, who won 82 caps for the United States, brings both football pedigree and profile to the American-led consortium looking to take charge at Shrewsbury.
As it stands, the takeover is still at the proposal stage rather than a completed deal, and further specifics on the structure of the investment, the size of the stake involved, or a timeline for completion have not been confirmed. Shrewsbury fans will be watching closely to see how talks progress, with American investment continuing to be a growing trend across the English Football League.
