Saha is the £10m target for Keane
SUNDERLAND manager Roy Keane has tabled a £10million bid for out-of-favour Manchester United striker Louis Saha.
Keane, who completed Pascal Chimbonda’s £4m move over the weekend, is desperate to improve his depleted strike force because Kenwyne Jones could miss most of the season with a serious knee injury.[>
[>
Saha has promised to give Keane an answer in the next few days, but the Frenchman has been impressed with Sunderland’s ambitious plans and the promise of first-team action.[>
[>
But Keane might have to increase his offer, with Sir Alex Ferguson seeking to hold out for £12million. Keane would pair Saha with El-Hadji Diouf as the Bolton striker had a medical at the Stadium of Light ahead of agreeing a £2.5m deal.[>
[>
Diouf was left out of Bolton’s pre-season friendly at Macclesfield on Saturday.[>
[>
Keane yesterday celebrated Chimbonda’s arrival, saying: “Pascal is one of those rare players who can play anywhere across the back line and that will be invaluable.[>
[>
“And he also has a lot of Premier League experience, which can only be a plus for us.”[>
