Turkey
side Fenerbahce are set to sign Nigeria captain Joseph Yobo on a
permanent deal following an improved offer of £2m to English Premier
League team Everton.
Fenerbahce’s initial offer of £1.5m was rejected by
Everton, but it is believed they will now accept £2m for the central
defender.
Everton manager David Moyes has deemed Yobo surplus
to requirements at Goodison Park and he is keen to offload the defender
in July.
The Nigeria defender has been on loan with the
Istanbul giants for the past two seasons and has earned himself regular
first-team place.
The experienced centre back has settled into life in
Turkey and recently told reporters in Istanbul, “I am very happy in
Turkey and at Fenerbahçe as is my family.
“I feel at home here, hopefully an agreement will be reached and I can continue playing at the club.”
