Nigerian defender Joseph Yobo has finally sealed his permanent move away from Everton after signing a three-year deal with Fenerbahce.

Yobo has spent the last two seasons on loan with the Turkish side, appearing in 62 league games and scoring goals after finding himself out of favour at Goodison Park.
The 31-year-old was actually the first player David Moyes snapped up as the Toffees manager when he swooped to land him from Marseille in 2002, and went on to give the club good service as he turned out in over 250 matches, including a spell captaining the team.
However, in recent years he has found himself out of the first-team picture, following the arrival of Johnny Heitinga and Sylvain Distin, prompting his exit for a fee thought to be worth around £1.5m.
