Yobo Set To Stage Comeback
Former Nigeria skipper Jo
seph Yobo has told AfricanFootball.com he is set to stage a comeback to the game as he is studying offers from China and Qatar among others.
The 34-year-old Yobo has not played again since his contract with Turkish champions Fenerbache was cancelled by mutual consent in the summer.
“I will soon return to the game after I have sorted out some of the things I am now doing,” said Yobo in reference to his foray into party politics recently.
“I have several top clubs in Europe who just want to have a look at me before they sign me but I have been engaged outside the pitch for some time now so I have not been able to go over to them.
“I also have offers from China and Qatar. I hope to soon take a decision on my career when I have sorted out some of the things I am doing at the moment.”
He added: “I am a free agent but some of the transfer windows in some of the countries have closed, but we will see what happens soon.”
He said his family will playa big role in his final decision.
“My wife will soon put to bed in the United States of America and so I have to consider such when taking my decision,” he revealed.
Yobo, who has won a record 101 caps for Nigeria, has featured for Everton and Norwich City in the English Premier League as well as Olympique Marseille and Standard Liege.
