Everton attempting to close Yobo sale to Fenerbahce this weekend

Everton are desperately trying to sell Joseph Yobo this weekend.

The Liverpool Echo says they face a race against time to get rid of want-away defender Yobo before the Turkish transfer window closes on Monday.

The Nigeria captain is still desperate to rejoin Fenerbahce - and his stop-start move back to the Istanbul giants could yet go ahead despite the UK deadline passing on Thursday.

The Toffees would like to further reduce the financial pressure on the club by removing Yobo's significant salary from their wage bill.
