Former Everton centre-back Joseph Yobo has finally completed his drawn-out transfer to Fenerbahce, signing a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee.

Yobo was hoping to complete his move to the Turkish side in June and the deal has now been confirmed to take the Nigerian to Turkey on a permanent basis.

"I would love to thank Everton and the management of Fenerbahce for reaching a deal," Yobo told Everton's official website.

"My family have settled well in Turkey and enjoy the life there, so I'm glad they will be re-uniting with friends here.

"It's been a long journey into achieving this dream and now is the time to pay the club and fans back with a great performance."

Yobo played for Everton for 10 years, initially joining on loan in 2002, although he spent the final two seasons on loan at new club Fenerbahce.
