Jo set for City return

Jo has impressed on loan at Everton and City boss Mark Hughes is keen to bring him back to Eastlands and give him another chance at the club.

“The idea was to get him games in The Premier League and he’s had that. He’s scored goals for Everton so they’re happy enough,” Hughes said in the Liverpool Echo.

“Can he have a future here? Obviously he can. He struggled to get games here and I was concentrating on getting Valeri Bojinov and Benjani back and get some games under their belts.

“I felt Jo wouldn’t get as many games in the second half of the season as he had in the first part. I had players I was more likely to pick ahead of him.”
