Joseph Yobo returned to Everton training yesterday.
The Liverpool Echo says Yobo made a surprise return to Finch Farm yesterday - putting David Moyes' hopes of banking some much needed transfer cash in the balance.
The 30-year-old defender spent last season on loan at Fenerbahce and the Blues have been trying to negotiate a permanent deal all summer.
But with neither party able to reach agreement, Yobo reported back to the Blues' training base yesterday for pre-season training. Everton had hoped to use the funds generated from the departure of players like Yobo and Yakubu this summer to bring in a fresh face or two.
