According to Our Snout and to Fenerbahçe, the transfer of Joseph Yobo was completed yesterday, nothing official from Everton yet.
Reports say that Everton have accepted the Istanbul club's €2.5 million offer following a lengthy negotiation process which dragged on over several weeks. Fener had been unwilling to meet Blue Bill's £3.5m valuation of Joey and there was deadlock.
This will now hopefully bankroll a move for Peanuts to be transferred from Spurs.
Moyesy deemed Joey surplus to requirements and has been keen to offload our Nigerian International who has been on loan with the Istanbul giants for the past two seasons and cemented himself as a first team regular.
He featured in 42 games last season and played an integral role in the Canaries finishing runners-up despite their turbulent year.
Joey is now expected to join Fenerbahçe in Austria for pre-season training.
A good Everton servant who will be fondly remember in the main (other than those memory lapses).
This also, hopefully, puts paid to any move involving Johnny Heitinga otherwise we leave ourselves exposed in the centre-back department.
