Manchester City striker Jo is returning to Everton for a season on-loan.

The Daily Mail says Jo will spend a second season on loan at Goodison Park after convincing Everton chiefs of his fitness in a series of tests at their Finch Farm training ground yesterday.

Manchester City's Brazilian striker made a favourable impression at Everton last season and is surplus to requirements at Eastlands, with Carlos Tevez about to join Roque Santa Cruz and Robinho in a new-look strike force and manager Mark Hughes still hopeful of prising Samuel Eto'o away from Barcelona.
