Everton boss Dave Moyes remains hopeful of landing a striker signing - or two - before the winter market shuts.
"If we could maybe add one or two players it will give the likes of Tim (Cahill), (Marouane) Fellaini and Victor (Anichebe) some extra help," he said.
"But Victor can play a big part and that is down to Victor in many ways.
"Victor knows it is an opportunity for him if he can get himself fit and get consistent and be a regular starter then we can see his progression coming to fruit."
