Cardiff rekindle yobo interest

Cardiff City have rekindled interest in Fenerbahçe defender Joseph Yobo according to Turkish newspaper Fanatik.
The Bluebirds want to strengthen defensively over the winter transfer window after conceding the second highest number of goals in the league - 33.
Yobo has a lot of experience playing in England having spent eight seasons playing for Everton.
The 33-year-old has struggled for playing time under new Fenerbahçe manager Ersun Yanal and has only made one league appearance this season.
Fenerbahçe are facing pressure as competition for foreign spaces increase.
The Turkish Football Federation (TFF) introduced a ruling last summer only permitting 10 foreign players per-club in the and allowing only six foreign players on the field at any one time for the 2013-14 season.
The Yellow Canaries currently have 10 foreign players on their books.
Cardiff came close to signing Yobo last summer however, the 33-year-old was reluctant to move away from Istanbul due to his family having settled into life in Turkey.
"My son goes to school in Istanbul and my family is happily settled in the city. I have no intentions of leaving," Yobo said.
Yobo is now reported to be open to a move in order to boost his chances of earning a recall to the Nigerian national team ahead of World Cup 2014.
