Yakubu insists Blackburn would escape relegationYakubu insists Blackburn would escape relegation


Former
Nigerian
international,
Yakubu
Aiyegbeni has
insisted that his new Premier
League side Blackburn Rovers
will not be relegated at the
end of the season.
The former Everton forward
expressed confidence bearing
in mind the potentials
inherent in the club, especially
coupled with the new
signings.
The 28-year-old forward, who
joined Rovers from Everton on
transfer deadline day, said
there is no need for panic at
Ewood Park despite the club
losing their first three games
of the season.
Yakubu told Sky Sports: “There
is a long way to go and when
we get our first win we will
be back, we are not panicking
about going down or staying
up.
“Blackburn have been in the
Premier League for a long
time and with the quality we
have we will be fine.
“They struggled against
relegation last season but it
would be nice to finish in the
top half this season and I
believe we can do it.”
As well as signing Yakubu on
deadline day, Rovers also
completed a deal for
Birmingham City defender
Scott Dann.
