Nigerian defender Joseph Yobo has finally joined Turkish outfit Fenerbahce, albeit on a season-long loan instead of a permanent deal.Yobo spent time on loan in Turkey last year and a transfer has been in the pipeline ever since. But a series of events including different valuations, the Turkish match-fixing scandal and even the kidnapping of John Obi Mikel's father have all put the switch on hold.
The Turkish transfer window closed on Monday night which allowed the two clubs time to complete a deal. Yobo, 30, joined Everton in 2002 and has made over 250 appearances for the club.
Nigerian journalist and friend of Yobo, Colin Udoh, wrote on Twitter: "Yobo loves Everton. It's obvious when he talks. His issue is with Moyes. Relationship totally broken."
Yobo's contract at Everton expires in 2014.
