MIDDLESBROUGH have finally agreed to sell Yakubu after accepting a bid - believed to be around £11.25m - from Everton.

The 24-year-old trained with his Boro team-mates on Wednesday morning before heading off to Merseyside to open talks with the Toffees.

The £7.5m signing from Portsmouth has been linked with a return to Fratton Park, along with moves to West Ham and Manchester City throughout the summer, but it now appears his future lies at Goodison Park.
