Bolton Wanderers boss Owen Coyle is chasing Everton defender Joseph Yobo.
The Daily Star Sunday says Newcastle are also keen on the Nigerian, 29, but Coyle is now ready to go head to head with Chris Hughton's Toon.
Yobo has endured an injury hit season at Everton and struggled to command a place.
And boss David Moyes is ready to call time on his eight years at Goodison Park.
