Yobo anxious to sort out his future

Lyndon Lloyd , 1 June, 21comments | Jump to most recent

Joseph Yobo has reaffirmed his desire to stay with Fenerbahçe but his future remains undecided while the Turkish side haggle with Everton over a fee.

?I am very happy in Turkey and at Fenerbahçe it is my family,? Yobo has been quoted by Turkish media.

?I feel at home here, hopefully an agreement will be reached and I can continue playing at the club,? he says.

Everton are determined not to allow Fenerbahçe to buy Yobo on the cheap, though, after benefiting from two season-long loans of the Nigerian defender over the last couple of years.

Leicester City have reportedly expressed an interest in the 31 year-old but no official contact is believed to have been made with the Blues and there is also reputed interest from the Continent.

Fenerbahçe are said to have offered £2m while Bill Kenwright is holding out for £3m for the experienced international.
