Former Everton striker Landon Donovan is part of the group that have bought out Swansea City.

Investors Steve Kaplin and Jason Levien, who run sports teams in the United States, are drafting in the former Everton striker as an adviser, reports BBC Sport.

The £100m takeover was agreed subject to Kaplin and Levien passing a Premier League test for prospective owners.

But Donovan, now 34, will not take part in Swansea's day-to-day activities

Current chairman Huw Jenkins and deputy Leigh Dineen will retain their roles when the Americans take control but Donovan is seen as ideal to have on the board with football and commercial expertise.
