FIFA blocks Odjidja-Ofoe deal

8 September 2012-PA Sport

FIFA has refused to ratify the loan transfer of Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe to Everton from Club Brugge.

The Toffees agreed a late deal a week ago and believed the required documentation had been submitted just before last Friday's 11pm (local time) deadline.

However, the move required the green light from world football's governing body and a week later FIFA has decided not to rubber-stamp the deal for the 23-year-old midfielder.

Everton issued a statement on the club's official website which read: "The decision comes despite both the Football Association and Premier League giving their full support to the loan agreement and Everton lodging the relevant signed paperwork in advance of the international transfer deadline on August 31."

Everton confirmed the club will consider 'all available options' before discussing the issue further.
