Yakubu targets silverware

16th March 2010

Everton striker Ayegbeni Yakubu expects the Toffees to be challenging for an winning trophies in the coming seasons.

The Nigerian is still battling to re-establish himself in David Moyes' side after returning to action last September following a serious Achilles injury.

The 27-year-old feels the team has improved considerably since his £11.25million move to Goodison Park from Middlesbrough in 2007.

Yakubu told the club's website: "I think Everton are getting better and better. Every season we get better.

"With the players we have and getting our injured players back I think we now have one of the best Everton squads for a long time.

"We now hope we can progress as a team and start winning trophies."
