The Yak,as the Everton striker is fondly called in England told South Africa Press Agency (SAPA) on arrival at the OR Tambo International Airport in Johannesburg that the Bafana Bafana stars and indeed South African football is not strange to him and the rest of the Eagles stars.
“I know most of the Bafana players, not just those in England or Europe but even those playing here,” said Yakubu who plays alongside Bafana midfielder Steven Pienaar at the English Premiership club.
“I know Steven from our club and we get along fine, and I know a bit about South African players too. There are a few in England and in Europe so we do know them, they’re no strangers to us,” the Everton striker said.
