Saha is confident he can find the net for Everton

Everton striker Louis Saha believes he is capable of recapturing the prolific strike rate he enjoyed as a Fulham player, if he gets a run of games.

Saha, 30, has joined Everton after four injury-hit years at Manchester United.

"I was feeling I was coming back to be that type of player so I just need games," he told BBC Radio Merseyside.

"With five or six games under my belt I should be alright and I feel I was doing it when I was on the pitch so I just need to get on."

In his four years at Fulham, the former France international scored 64 goals in 144 appearances.

Following his move to Manchester United, Saha managed a haul of 42 goals in 214 games.

He is currently recovering from a calf strain and refuses to be drawn on when he will be ready for first-team action.

The Frenchman, who has also spent time on loan at Newcastle, is aware of the Everton fans' desire to see him partner last season's top-scorer Yakubu.

Saha feels it is a partnership that could work: "He's very strong and he scores goals.

"I think I could add a few goals to the total of the team so I'm very excited about that partnership."
