Everton striker Jermaine Beckford says he now feels he belongs in Premier League company.
Beckford, who signed from Leeds United in the summer, has been finding his feet at the top level this term although he has notched four goals so far in a royal blue shirt, one of them the equaliser against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge in December.
"As I have jumped up two leagues, the majority of this season I am looking at as a learning curve, getting used to the tempo. But I am having great fun," he told the Liverpool Echo.
"Scoring at Anfield (has been my favourite moment). It meant so much to score and the way the fans reacted was amazing! The fans were incredible that day.
"I knew my first season would be one where I learnt the Everton way of doing things. I know there is stuff I need to improve on and I am working hard to do so. I know I can learn from Louis Saha and the other guys here. I am sure more starts and more goals will follow.
"I have always looked up to Louis as a player. His movement, his eye for goal, everything he does is phenomenal.
"Also David Moyes is a brilliant manager. Knowing that he doesn't have the biggest budget but seeing what he achieved was exciting. Also I look at the club and feel I can add a lot on the pitch."
