EVERTON are set to open talks with Louis Saha about the prospects of extending his stay at Goodison.[LNB]Saha has been in outstanding form this season and scored nine goals and given his past injury problems, has consistently been available for selection.[LNB]The Blues are keen to invoke the clause they inserted to the Frenchman's contract when he joined from Manchester United in August 2008.[LNB]He initially signed a two-year deal but David Moyes made it clear that there was scope to prolong his stay if things were going well.[LNB]Goodison officials are aware Saha could start talking to foreign clubs in the New Year but, to avert the prospect, will approach him as reward for his efforts.[LNB]Saha scored Everton's first in Sunday's 2-1 win over West Ham despite being in first half pain with a calf problem.[LNB]'It was just about being sensible after my calf strain,' said Saha. 'I tried my best in the game but I started to cramp in the second half, so it was better to be cautious.'[LNB]In recent international breaks, Saha has returned to France to work with a personal trainer to help avoid the niggling injuries that frustrated him in recent seasons.
