Have yen for sage? Me too (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

likewise

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'me too' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'have yen for sage?' is the wordplay.
'have yen' becomes 'like' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'for' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'sage?' becomes 'wise' (similar in meaning).
'like'+'wise'='LIKEWISE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for likewise that I've seen before include "In similar way" , "In addition, similarly" , "Ditto, similarly" , "In similar manner" , "Similarly, moreover" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
