Yobo set to sign new Goodison deal to end Everton quit fears

Everton's Nigerian defender Joseph Yobo is ready to end uncertainty about his future by signing a new five-year deal before next week's FA Cup final against Chelsea.Blue heaven: Yobo is set to extend his Everton dealThere were claims that Yobo, a £3.5 million buy from Marseille six years ago following a spell on loan, was unsettled because he felt other players were being paid more than him and he had failed to regain his regular starting place following injury. But with Phil Jagielka ruled out until next season he has again become a key figure.His agent John Shittu said:'There is no question of wage parity as Yobo is already one of the club's best paid players. 'He was the first player to break Everton's wage structure when he signed the present renewal three years ago and I can tell you we have agreed a new five-year deal in principle which he's likely to sign before the FA Cup final.'Everton were happy to give Yobo the new deal even at 28-years-old and he also loves to stay with the club. 'At any rate he does not want to leave the United Kingdom and would only consider a move if it is to any of Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea or Arsenal. 'It's a good deal and we are happy with it.'  HATCHET MAN: Moyes - You need Yobo more than he needs Everton - so don't sell him out of spite Arsenal and City on alert as Yobo prepares to turn down Everton contract EVERTON FC
