“I am the happiest man in the world now,” Yobo told Goal.com.

“I want to thank all my fans, friends and family who have stayed behind me, and I promise to raise the flag higher every day.”

Yobo signed a three-year contract with the Turkish giants that will see him pick up a €2-million annual salary. Fenerbahce will pay €2.5-million to Everton for his services.

Prior to his 10-year stint with the Toffees, Yobo played for Standard Liege, Olympique de Marseille and Tenerife.
