Louis Saha 300[LNB]LOUIS Saha has soothed Everton's striking headache by returning to training ahead of today's clash with Arsenal, as he continues to discuss a new deal with the Blues.[LNB]The French striker, who has scored 10 goals in the league so far, has been highlighted as a cause for concern for Gunners boss Arsene Wenger - and David Moyes is pleased with how his time with Everton is progressing.[LNB]Saha trained on Thursday to the relief of Moyes, who had James Vaughan and new loan signing Landon Donovan as his only other striking options.[LNB]Moyes said: 'The big thing was to get Louis on the pitch as much as we can, and we've done that.[LNB]'The negotiations (for a new contract) are ongoing with the chairman and Louis' representatives. There is no real great rush to get it done immediately because he is under contract until the end of the season.'[LNB]Saha's contract expires in the summer but he could sign a pre-contract with a foreign club before then. The former Manchester United star is believed to be happy at Everton though, and talks will continue throughout January.[LNB]Moyes also revealed that on-loan Brazilian striker Jo will return to training on Monday.[LNB]The Brazilian had been suspended after he returned to Rio De Janeiro without permission from the club.
