Leicester City eyeing shock move for bit-part Everton striker Yakubu

Leicester City are ready to make an ambitious bid for Everton striker Yakubu to spearhead their push for the play-offs.

Yakubu has been starved of regular first team football at Goodison Park and was left out of the squad that was beaten 2-0 by Stoke on New Year's Day.

The Nigerian striker wants to leave but it is not yet known whether he would be prepared to drop down a level into the Championship.

Wanted man: Yakubu is a shock target for Leicester

Leicester, who are backed by Thai millionaires, are one of only a few clubs who could match Yakubu's current wages. Everton are exploring all options to bring in a striker themselves and retain an interest in Tottenham's David Bentley.

Leicester have agreed a fee with FC Twente for Bernard Parker as Sven Goran Eriksson also looks to tie up a deal for Kyle Naughton.

Crikey, that would be utterly brilliant. Hard to believe he's still only 28, especially given the scandals about other Nigerian footballers, either way he would piss all over most defences in this division.

His name has been mentioned a few times in another thread, but I think this is the first time one of the papers has made the connection. Maybe the Mail journo read it here...

Yakubu and Vassel up front would be brilliant. We could give em a nickname like 'SAS'.....maybe YakVas.

As I mentioned in the other thread, the staff at Leicester have said that his wages are something that a deal hinges on, as he's on mega bucks at Everton. Obviously he needs to be willing to take a step down as well - but there aren't too many takers for a permanent deal at present.

 

[Graz]

Would be incredible. Don't see it happening though.

I think we'll just be linked with anyone not playing

 

[fitz]

No

 

[Blue Maniac]

Is the Adam and Eve bit supposed to be a pun of some sort, or an inexplicable use of rhyming slang?

 

[fosseman]

I don't know who we should sign but I've a feeling that he's not for us.

 

[alex]

Would be an absolutely superb signing.

 

[RHYDAL]

maybe YakVas.

Isn't that a type of Himalayan sex lubricant?

Feed the Yak and he will score...........

 

[Macky]

Feed the Yak and he will produce milk that we can turn into much needed cheese, butter and other dairy products...........

I'm not sure that's a priority at the moment spion

I'm not sure that's a priority at the moment spion

Blessed are the cheese makers............

 

[Granite Fox]

Is he really any good anymore?

He can't get into the Everton team that struggles to score goals. His past record is great, but would be a bit of a gamble IMO.

Worth a shot I guess if nobody else is willing to drop down to our level

 

[Kingy_85]

I havent bothered getting the new shirt this season.

But if we sign Yakubu I'll be the first blue mongie in line to get his name.

 

[Durham Fox]

More BS to make it look like we are punching in a category well above the reality.

 

[TommyK]

Could be a fantastic signing. Definitely a player with talent.
