Fenerbahçe are close to completing the transfer of 31-year-old Everton defender Joseph Yobo.

According to English newspaper, The Sun, Fenerbahçe are set to make a €2 million offer which The Toffees are likely to accept.

Everton Manager David Moyes has deemed Yobo surplus to requirements at Goodison Park and is keen to offload the defender in July.

Yobo featured in 42 games last season and played an integral role in the Canaries finishing runners-up despite their turbulent year.

Fenerbahçe are also facing competition from Leicester City who have also been closely linked with the experienced defender.
