Everton striker Anichebe: Tottenham signing Saha great for me

Everton striker Victor Anichebe says he'll miss the influence of Louis Saha, now of Tottenham.

The French striker left Everton FC on a deadline day switch to Spurs last week, and could feature against Liverpool at Anfield tonight, but Anichebe says he was sad to see him depart.

“I have learned a lot from him,” he said. “I always say to people Louis is probably one of the best players I’ve seen. Him and Steven (Pienaar) have been up there for me at Everton.

“But Louis’ control, pace, the way he uses the ball and even the way he thinks, he just brushes things off, and he’s a great professional. It’s sad to see him go, he’s helped me a lot since I’ve been in and around the teams, even when I was injured.

“I’ll still stay in touch with him, and hopefully he’ll do well at Spurs. They’re a great team as well and they might suit him a bit. At least we’ve got Niki (Jelavic) now.”
