Everton defender Joseph Yobo is battling for his future at Goodison Park.

The People says Everton boss David Moyes is frustrated by Yobo's form and fitness, with his nagging hamstring problem ruling him out of too many games and affecting his performances.

Yobo, 29, has left to play for Nigeria in the Africa Cup of Nations despite pulling out of several Everton European games - which has not endeared him to the Goodison club.

The centre-half's absence means he will not be sold this month, but he seems on borrowed time as Moyes sets up moves for a new defender.

Yobo signed a new contract last year and is on big money, so it will be hard to find him a new home.
