Message of support: Everton's Joseph Yobo

'We have contacted Joseph and offered him any assistance he needs,' said Everton spokesman Ian Ross. 'All our thoughts are with him and his family.'

Norum was one of three men taken from their car in the early hours of the morning as they drove home. The other two were later released, and police are now waiting for the kidnappers to make contact.

Atletico Madrid are maintaining an interest in Mikel Arteta that was first revealed in Sportsmail at the end of last season but have yet to follow up with a firm bid, despite suggestions in Spain that a £12.5million offer had been lodged.

Everton have received several enquiries about Andy Johnson's availability, but manager David Moyes is reluctant to sell his £8.6million striker.

Sportsmail revealed last month that Sunderland, Wigan and Fulham have all expressed strong interest.
