Everton have bolstered their attacking options with the loan signing of Manchester City's Brazilian striker Jo until the end of the season. The gangly forward cost Mark Hughes £18 million from CSKA Moscow in July, but has failed to impress in the Premier League, scoring just one goal in nine top-flight appearances.

"Jo agreed personal terms with Everton today and arrived at Goodison Park earlier to complete the loan move ahead of the 5pm transfer deadline," said Everton's website.

The signing will serve as a welcome boost to a Toffees's forward line that has, recognised strikers, James Vaughan, Louis Saha and Yakubu all nursing long-term injuries on the sidelines.
