Saha eyeing big challenge with Tottenham

Louis Saha says he is ready for a new challenge with Tottenham.

The veteran French striker left Everton for Spurs yesterday to sign a short-term deal and is excited about coming to such an improving club whilst thanking the team he departed.

"I have a big challenge ahead, which is why I felt it was right to go," said Saha.

"I am not going to step down and I think I am joining the most dynamic and exciting team in the country at the moment.

"I have to say thank you to Everton and particularly David Moyes because they helped me when I really needed it and I will never forget that.

"Leaving a great club like Everton is always a bit sad, but things come to an end, and I also want to say thanks to the supporters as there have been good times and bad times but I have always felt supported and loved.

"Goodison is a special stadium and you can feel the spirit of so many great sportsmen when you go on the pitch. It has been an honour and a privilege as a football player to play there."
