Everton FC in race to tie Louis Saha into new Goodison deal

Louis Saha 300EVERTON must act quickly to thrash out a new deal for Louis Saha or risk losing him to Spurs or Arsenal.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.But he wants improved terms after scoring 10 league goals already this season, and Harry Redknapp is waiting in the wings if talks collapse.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.Arsene Wenger is also believed to be monitoring the situation closely, with an experienced centre-forward a priority at the Emirates.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.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.
