Louis Laurent Saha (born 8 August 1978 in Paris) is a French footballer who currently plays as a forward for Everton FC in the Premier League and the France national team. A former scholar at the Clairefontaine football academy, he started his career at Metz before playing on loan at Newcastle United. Before the start of the 2000 � 01 season, Saha moved to Fulham where he established himself as first choice striker, helping them to gain promotion to the Premier League in his first season with them.

His performances gained attraction from Manchester United, who eventually secured his signing for around £12.4 million midway through the 2003 � 04 season. Injuries plagued his Old Trafford career, however he did enjoy success with twice winning the Premier League, the 2007 � 08 UEFA Champions League and also scored six times en route to victory in the League Cup, including one goal in the final.

After four and a half years at United, Everton took him to Goodison Park, where he opened the scoring in the 2009 FA Cup Final after 25 seconds, setting the record for the fastest goal scored in a FA Cup Final history. Saha made his France debut in 2004 in a 2 � 0 victory over Belgium. He represented France at the 2004 European Football Championships and also the 2006 FIFA World Cup which they reached the final, however Saha was suspended for the final against Italy after receiving a yellow card against Portugal in the semi-final.

Everton v Chelsea, R4, 12:30 The FA Cup 4th Round - 29/01/11 The FA Cup sponsored by E.ON Saturday 29 - Sunday 30 January 2011 Fourth round weekend Salomon Kalou's second-half strike earned Chelsea a home replay against Everton in the FA Cup fourth round. Louis Saha gave the Toffees the lead when he headed past Petr Cech from Leighton Baines' right-wing corner. But substitute Kalou equalised for the visitors within five minutes of coming on when he slotted in from 12 yards. Ramires hit the home side's post with a shot late on, while Nicolas Anelka was denied by Tim Howard and Jack Rodwell had an effort saved by Cech. Chelsea, looking to become the first team to win three successive FA Cup titles since Blackburn in the 1880s, and Everton, without a trophy since their triumph in the competition in 1995, both fielded strong sides. Ironically, the west Londoners' record run began against the Merseysiders in 2009 and nine of the XI that started at Wembley were back on duty almost 20 months on from that showpiece occasion. Although a little older and perhaps a yard slower, Chelsea's class of 2011 are still a potent outfit and caused Everton problems on the break, as highlighted by the equaliser, even though manager David Moyes' side had the majority of the possession in midfield. Anelka, not as sharp as he has been in previous seasons, should have scored late in the first half when he was played in by Ramires, but fired his low shot at American keeper Howard, who anticipated <b>...</b>
