The French striker has joined Everton after frequent injury problems dogged his Manchester United career. But Saha believes they are now behind him, and that he can form a front-line pairing with Yakubu that could make the difference between fifth place last season and a top-four finish this term.

He said: "It is about progression for Everton. When you finish fifth then you want the Champions League the next time. I will try to help them do that, but talk is not good enough."

He added: "I have ambition. Everton are right for me. I would not go to any lower sides. I wanted something that I was used to.

"I still believe I can show the form that persuaded Manchester United to buy me. The worst bit is to be injured so I could not show everything.

"Now I just want to get onto the pitch. I scored a lot of goals for United. I know I can do that again.

"If you play a few games, you get your confidence back, but then there is an injury and it has been like that for four and a half years.

"Scoring goals is my job. I still believe that I can still do that at the top.

"I am looking forward to a partnership with Yakubu. We both can score goals. I am excited by that.

"I hope the best of me is still to come. I am honest and I want this challenge."
