YAKUBU WANTS OUT
Yakubu has reportedly stunned Middlesborough by demanding a move just days before the new Premier League season starts.
The Nigerian forward has been linked with a move to Everton and the Daily Mail are reporting that the £10million-rated striker now wants to leave the Riverside Stadium.
Boro chairman Steve Gibson has blocked the former Portsmouth player's attempt to leave Boro and has insisted Yakubu sees out the remaining three years of his contract.
Yakubu's apparent desire to leave Teeside has come to light less than a week after Boro' manager Gareth Southgate had a meeting with the striker where the Nigerian declared he was content to stay at Middlesborough.

This would be a massive blow for Boro. Replacing Viduka with Aliadiere was bad enough but if they loose Yakubu I can see them struggling big time this season.
