Saha Deal Completed

by Matthew Gamble | Monday 1 September 2008, 14:26

Everton have completed the signing of Louis Saha.

The striker joins the Toffees from Manchester United for an undisclosed fee after the two clubs agreed a deal last week.

Saha successfully underwent a medical at the weekend and officially became an Everton player on Monday.

It was also confirmed that the Frenchman, who has scored four goals in 18 appearances for his country, will wear the Club's famous No.9 shirt.

In addition to his international haul, the 30-year-old boasts an impressive goalscoring record in the Premier League with both Fulham and Manchester United.

It was Saha's goalscoring exploits in firing the Cottagers into the top flight that convinced Sir Alex Ferguson to pay £12.8million for his services in January 2004.

And, despite an injury-affected spell with the Red Devils, the striker managed 28 goals in 86 first-team appearances. 

Saha joins Everton on a two-year deal with the option for a third year.

He will join former Man Utd teammates Phil Neville and Tim Howard at Goodison Park.

Visit evertonTV now for an exclusive interview with the new man. The interview is also available to EvertonMobile users - click here.

Bid for a signed Louis Saha shirt on eAuction now. Auction closes at midnight tonight!

Excellent Welcome Louis. with both good pace and movement I think the partnership with Yak is really exciting and if he is unlucky we have James and Victor to fill in.

Agree with Andrew?

Still one of the smallest teams in the league depressing. We are going to stuggle in midfield. At least our players hearts are in our club. Blue 4 life.
