Everton FC star Yakubu says he is ready to rediscover the goal-trail for the Blues

YAKUBU is determined to banish the ghost of his horrendous injury at White Hart Lane two years ago by scoring his first goal this season against Spurs tomorrow.[LNB]The Nigerian striker believes he is finally 100% fit after a long journey back from the Achilles tendon injury he suffered in North London in November 2008, and a troubled summer when he was linked with an exit from the Blues.[LNB]The former Portsmouth hit-man won plaudits for his all-action performance in last weekend's derby win, and is now convinced he is on the brink of a goal-scoring run.[LNB]Yakubu notched 21 strikes in his debut season for David Moyes' side, and has no doubt he can hit those heights again.[LNB] He said: 'White Hart Lane is where I got my injury and when I played there last season I did think about it. I scored as a substitute but we lost and I wasn't at my best.[LNB]'The injury is out of my mind now and I am not thinking about it. I feel so much better this season and I really want to go there and perform well and forget the injury once and for all.[LNB]'It would be special to score a goal there on top of a good performance as two years ago I had my bad injury. A goal this time would put that memory away once and for all. I want to score goals and it would be nice to get going at Tottenham.
