Neville Lauds 'Dangerous' Saha
The Toffees completed a transfer deadline day swoop for the French hitman, who has agreed a two year-deal at Goodison Park.
His new captain Phil Neville has welcomed the arrival of Saha, with whom he played at Old Trafford during his time at Manchester United.
Neville is confident that the 30-year-old forward can make an impact with the Merseyside outfit.
He told the Liverpool Echo: "In terms of the quality of player that has moved this summer, Louis would be up there with the best of them.
"We need to keep him fit but, if we can do that, we'll have a real player on our hands. He is one of the best strikers that I have trained or played with. He has got everything.
"He can play up front on his own, he is as strong as an ox, quick and scores goals. He'll also be able to play alongside Yak [Yakubu Aiyegbeni], Vaughany [James Vaughan] or Victor [Anichebe] without any problem either.
"He is a team player with presence and experience and he is one of those strikers who, when you see his name on the team sheet, you know you are going to be in for a difficult time because he is so dangerous.
"He isn't nice to play against and I'm glad we'll have him on our side."
Saha has had an injury ravaged spell over the past two seasons, but Neville is confident that when he is fit, the French international is a threatening prospect.
