New Blackburn Rovers signing Yakubu is confident his new club will survive relegation from the Premier League this season.
The 28-year-old forward, who joined Rovers from Everton on transfer deadline day, insists 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.
