Former Sunderland striker Saha thrilled to sign with Lazio

Louis Saha is intent on succeeding with Lazio after signing a short-term deal with the Italian club.

The 34-year old French striker was released by Sunderland at the end of January and will now continue his career in Rome until the end of the season.

"I am very happy to be here at this big club," he told reporters. "I have found a great group and working with them will be a real pleasure for me.

"I want to give my best. I am here to help the team during this injury and I'm happy to do it.

"I know on Saturday it will be a big game against Napoli and I am here to help. In life you must always try to give your best. I am a very competitive person, so the important thing is to always do better.

"This is a great team and a great country - I am happy to be here."
