Yakubu signs for Blackburn

Blackburn have signed Yakubu from Everton for a fee of 1.5m GBP. The 28 year old spent four years at Goodison Park.

The Nigerian international has signed a three year contract at Ewood Park and completes a very day of business for Steve Kean and Blackburn.

"It's a good club," Yakubu said of Blackburn.

"If you look at the history of the club, I think for me to be here is really, really great.

"I am looking forward to playing and helping the team get points and stay in the Premier League."
