Everton are struggling to
secure Louis Saha to a new contract.
The Daily Mail says out of contract at the end of the
season, the former Manchester
United striker has requested around £60,000 a
week.
It would make him the club’s top earner, and while there may be
a willingness to raise the pay ceiling, no agreement has been
reached and there are some concerns over the return
Everton could count on for their
investment.
After seeming to have put his injury worries behind him, Saha
has again been dogged by fitness problems and is currently on his
way back from a hamstring strain.
He has managed three consecutive starts only once all season
and, having returned to training this week, faces a late fitness
test ahead of today’s game with Arsenal.
