Yobo seals Fener
deal!
Fenerbahçe of Turkey have completed the transfer of Everton
centre-back Joseph Yobo.
Everton have accepted the Istanbul
club’s €2.5 million offer following a lengthy negotiation process which dragged
on over several weeks.
The Istanbul
club had been unwilling to meet Everton’s €3-4 million valuation of the
Nigerian international and were at a deadlock with The Toffees.
Everton are reported to have agreed to lower price to
bankroll a move for transfer target Steven Pienaar.
Toffees manager David Moyes has deemed Yobo surplus to
requirements at Goodison Park
The Nigerian International has been on loan with the Istanbul
giants for the past two seasons and cemented himself as a first team regular.
The 31-year-old centre-back featured in 42 games last season
and played an integral role in the Canaries finishing runners-up despite their
turbulent year.
