English Premier News :: Louis Saha moves to Everton from Manchester Utd

Posted on 2008-08-29 by Gooner

Manchester United striker Louis Saha will join Everton for an undisclosed fee, subject to passing a medical.

The 30-year-old French international will become Everton's third signing of the summer after Lars Jacobsen and Segundo Castillo.

Saha will sign a two-year deal with an option to extend his contract by a further 12 months.

Everton boss David Moyes was reported on BBC as saying : "He can do a bit of everything, he can run, head it, and he can link play up."

"There is no doubt he is a fantastically talented player, the question now is can we get him fit and we are hoping we can do that.

"He was involved in 17 or 18 games for Manchester United last year and if he can be involved in a few more than that for us than he will certainly play a part.

"If you do get him on the pitch there is no doubt he is a very good player and adds qualities that we will need."

Saha scored 42 goals during an injury-plagued career at Old Trafford, but his sale could be a sign that a deal for Dimitar Berbatov may be concluded before the transfer deadline.
