West Brom signing Anichebe: I've always enjoyed playing here

Former Everton striker Victor Anichebe is delighted with his move to West Bromwich Albion.

The Nigeria international was signed on deadline day.

"I have enjoyed playing here in the past," Anichebe told the WBA website. "I've scored a few goals against the club. There have been a few moments in my history that have happened against West Brom.

"I scored my first Premier League goal against West Brom.

"I scored here on New Year's Day two years ago -when my dad was in hospital.

"I seem to pop up with a goal against West Brom. They are key moments in my professional career so far.

"Because of that, something pulled me towards the club.

"For me, having been at Everton for so long, which is my team, for me to leave there had to be a reason - some sort of connection.

"I felt a connection to come to West Brom and, as soon as I heard there was an interest, I knew I was coming here."
