Louis Saha on Keano’s list
August 5th, 2008 at 6:00 pm , filed under Transfer Rumours.Louis Saha is on the brink of completing an £8.5million transfer to Stadium of Light. Sunderland boss Keano will make him the biggest earner in the club’s history on £50,000 a week. Out-of-favour Old Trafford star, Saha, 30, was at the Stadium of Light to see the Black Cats’ pre-season defeat by Ajax.
Keane is desperate to add firepower to his squad after last season brush with relegation. He has splashed £20m on six summer signings already but admitted: “Hopefully there will be two or three players coming on board before the transfer window closes. At the end of last season I thought we needed another top striker at the club and I’ve not changed that view because you’ve got to put the ball in the back of the net.”
