Saha set to join Man Utd
LONDON (Reuters) - Fulham striker Louis Saha says he is poised to
join premier league champions Manchester United.
"I am very happy now that we are about to complete the deal," the
25-year-old Frenchman was quoted as saying in Wednesday's Daily
Mail newspaper.
"My dream of playing for United is close to being reality but first
I have to complete a medical."
Fulham rejected an offer from United last month, which media
reports put at around eight million pounds, but the Daily Mail says
the bid for Saha has now been increased to 9.8 million
pounds.
"I have wanted to go to United in my mind for a month and now I
know that I must prove I can play in the team there," Saha said on
Wednesday.
"This is a big step up in my career and I know that I will have to
show that I'm good enough."
Saha, who joined Fulham from Metz for a transfer fee of 2.1 million
pounds three years ago, scored his 15th goal of the season when he
converted a penalty in the 2-1 premier league win over Everton last
Saturday.
