Joseph Yobo has revealed he snubbed a potential move to Juventus and Arsenal to join Everton because David Moyes promised to make him one of the best defenders in the world.
The 39-year-old stated the former Toffees boss watched him play for Nigeria in a 2002 pre-World Cup game against the Republic of Ireland, where he impressed against Roy Keane’s captained side.
The defender went on to make a significant impact for the Super Eagles at the global tournament, setting up Julius Aghahowa for Nigeria’s only goal in the competition against Sweden.
