Everton FC in race to tie Louis Saha into new Goodison deal
Louis Saha 300[LNB]EVERTON must act quickly to thrash out a new deal for Louis Saha or risk losing him to Spurs or Arsenal.[LNB]The Toffees have opened talks with the French striker who is under contract until the summer, and is understood to be happy under David Moyes and settled in the region.[LNB]But he wants improved terms after scoring 10 league goals already this season, and Harry Redknapp is waiting in the wings if talks collapse.[LNB]The ECHO understands Saha would prefer to have his future resolved sooner rather than later, although he cannot sign a pre-contract with any English clubs for the remainder of the season.[LNB]Arsene Wenger is also believed to be monitoring the situation closely, with an experienced centre-forward a priority at the Emirates.[LNB]Saha would prefer to remain in the Premier League, but is keeping his options open and could sign a pre-contract with a foreign club at any time.[LNB]Everton though will insist on a realistic wage compromise during the talks, based on Saha's fitness problems which, although improved, continue to limit his involvement.
