Moyes announced on Wednesday that Everton and Marseille had agreed a deal after 24 hours of negotiations.

"The two clubs have agreed a deal," Moyes told Everton's official website.

"We have been working hard to try to finalise the deal and the board at Everton have been fantastic in putting the finances in place.

"There are still one or two matters to be sorted out with Joseph and his advisors, but we hope to conclude the matter in the next couple of days."

Everton had paid Marseille �1m to take Yobo on loan for 12 months and are expected to pay the French giants a further �3.5m to make the signing permanent.

"I am happy with everyone, I am used to everything and I am very happy. Of course I will be happy to stay," he said.

"I am more or less settled now."

Everton have lost only once since Yobo settled into the heart of the Everton defence after initially struggling because of injury.

And Yobo added that receiving the fans' backing during his period out had helped him adapt quickly to life in England.

"When I was injured at the start of the season the fans were really behind me, and that helped me settle down very quickly and I was really thankful for that.

"They were behind me when I was not playing. No-one had even seen me play and they were behind me, which was wonderful."
