Everton manager David Moyes has revealed that he turned down an offer from an unnamed club for Louis Saha earlier in the summer.

Saha, 31, is believed to have been targeted by Turkish side Besiktas, but Moyes gave their offer no consideration.

"Louis is someone we had a big bid for," Moyes told the News of the World.

"But he didn't want to go and we didn't want to sell. It's great news Louis wants to stay."

The injury-plagued France striker joined the Toffees on a two-year contract from Manchester United last summer.

Saha scored six goals in 24 appearances for the Goodison Park outfit last term.
