West Bromwich Albion boss Tony Pulis was delighted with two-goal Victor Anichebe for their FA Cup win at Birmingham City.
The former Everton striker has three goals in four games under Pulis, having previously scored just four times in his whole Baggies career.
Pulis insisted Anichebe is not 100 per cent fit and believes he will be an asset once he is.
He said: "I don't think anyone has ever questioned Victor's ability, the big thing is keeping him fit and getting him fit.
"He is still nowhere near and if you get him to that level I'm sure he'd be unplayable at times.
"We are coming in halfway through a season so most of the work has been done, you'd love to have him for pre-season and get him fit.
"He is a good lad and is one of those if you sit down and talk to him he's responsive. We have to get him a bit fitter."
