Yakubu Impressed By Marco Silva’s Everton

Everton hero Yakubu Ayegbeni is enjoying watching Marco Silva’s team this season.

Yakubu became Everton’s record signing when Moyes paid £11.25million for his services.

Now 35, he is enjoying retirement and still watches the Toffees’ matches.

“They’re doing really well,” he told the Mirror. “The football is really good and the players are getting used to the ideas. You have to give them credit. At the moment they are doing well.

“Richarlison is doing really well. He has been the one scoring goals, so he deserves the credit. It’s not easy coming from Watford to Everton, a really big club.

“You need to have patience because sometimes it can take a player one or two months to settle, but others it can take six months or even a year.

“Richarlison is doing really well straight away and that is good for him and the fans.”
