Everton striker Yakubu Aiyegbeni says he can fire Leicester City back to the Premier League.
The Nigeria international has joined the Foxes on loan to season's end.
"Leicester City has a good history and the club belongs in the Premier League," declared Yakubu.
"I believe that we can achieve that aim this season, but it is not going to be easy. We will need to work hard together as a team and only then can we achieve our dreams.
"I am an ambitious person and I am more than happy to work hard. For me, I love challenges and this is one that I am really looking forward to. I wouldn't have joined if I didn't believe in my ability to do well for the club. I hope to score goals for Leicester and to help move the team up the division. I will give everything for the club and for my fellow players and I am sure we will enjoy some success."
Yakubu joined Portsmouth from Maccabi Haifa in 2003 and helped fire them to the First Division title (as it was then known).
And he explained: "I've played at most of the grounds and I know what to expect from this division.
"There are good teams and good players, but you have to compete and battle, otherwise you can be overpowered, as this is a physical level of football. I was part of the Portsmouth team that won the division when Leicester were the runners-up and it was difficult then, no doubt. But we will be prepared and we will progress.
"I've watched the team from afar over the last few months and they have done really well since the manager joined the club, after a difficult start to the season. I met the guys yesterday and they've received me really well and made me feel very welcome. I'm sure we will work well and we will fight together, believe, and reach the play-offs."
