Former Everton star Daniel Amokachi believes fellow Nigerian Victor Anichebe will come good for Everton if he stays injury free. Anichebe failed to score last season and has only managed to score twice in the last three seasons. He had previously shown a lot of promise before Kevin Nolan tried to end his career in early 2009.

But Amokachi believes with a pre season Anichebe can still shine for Everton:’It was good to see Victor back in the team last season,’

’He has had such bad luck with injuries and that is what has held him back. Hopefully he can stay fit for the whole of next season and, if he can do that, then I am sure he can become an important player for both Nigeria and Everton.’

’For me he is still a player who has a lot of promise. He is a strong lad, he can score goals and he can hold the ball up and help get Everton‘s quality midfielders into the game.’’

People don‘t realise how much his injuries have affected him.

This time hopefully he will get a full pre-season under his belt and he will be at the same level as all the other players and he‘ll show what he is capable of.’
