Louis Saha Joins Lazio

Lazio has signed French Striker Louis Saha on a free transfer.

Serie A club Lazio has had the need to fill a hole in their forward corps since Miroslav Klose went down with a knee injury.  They've turned to French International Louis Saha to try and fill that void.  That's right, that Saha, of Everton and United fame, among others.

Saha had been playing with Sunderland in the EPL this year but had failed to tally a goal in 11 appearances, all off the subs bench.  His contract with the Black Cats was terminated at the end of January by mutual consent.  We'll see how he does, as Klose is out at least eight weeks.  Saha's contract will last for six months.

Last year Saha spent the better part of the season at Spurs after leaving Everton.  He scored 3 goals in 10 appearances for Tottenham.  He was released in July 2012, then signed by Sunderland.  He has 20 caps and four goals for the French senior side.
