Former Liverpool star Jamie Redknapp has likened Everton striker Victor Anichebe to his former teammate Emile Heskey.

Redknapp wrote in the Daily Mail: "Victor Anichebe must be a dream to play with. If Everton want to play direct, he pins back defenders and eases the pressure on his own team. He reminds me of one of my team-mates who wasn't prolific but who was appreciated in the dressing room: Emile Heskey."
