Everton manager David Moyes has agreed a deal to
loan Brazilian striker Jo from Manchester City until the end of the
season.
Moyes tried to sign the player in the summer from CSKA
Moscow but was outmuscled by Manchester City's cash, with the
Eastlands club securing the player for £19million.
But Jo has made little impact with City, scoring three times in
18 games, and will now join Everton on loan until the end of the
season.
There is no agreement that will see the deal becoming a
permanent one, with Everton unable to match the sort of money City
would want back.
Jo cannot play on Wednesday in the FA Cup replay
against Liverpool
because his last appearance for City was in their cup exit to
Nottingham Forest. Jo is expected to make his debut for the Toffees
on Saturday against Bolton.
