Everton boss David Moyes admits that he is keen to see striker Victor Anichebe overcome his injury problems this season.

Everton boss David Moyes has insisted that while he does not class Victor Anichebe as "a clinical finisher", he is pleased with the striker's contribution this season.

Anichebe, 23, has scored four goals in nine appearances after an injury-hit campaign thus far, and Moyes is keen to have the player back to full fitness.

"I don't think Victor would ever be classed as a clinical finisher. He makes a lot of assists, but has come on and played a part in scoring a few goals," Moyes told Sky Sports News.

"If you had said to be in the past did I ever think Victor was a super sub I'd say definitely not. But I don't really care what you call them. If people come on and score goals I am delighted, whether it is 20 minutes or from the start of the game.

"The big thing is he needs to get over his injury problems completely; he's had one or two scares this week and we need to see how he is."

Everton welcome Chelsea to Goodison Park on Saturday afternoon.
