Saha ´one of the greatest´, says Hahnemann

Everton’s new goalkeeper Marcus Hahnemann has described team-mate Louis Saha as ‘one of the greatest I’ve ever played with’.

Saha is seemingly back in the fold at Goodison Park after a recent bust-up with manager David Moyes.

Following his omission from the squad to face Wigan last month, the Frenchman vented his frustration on Twitter, but now it seems the situation has calmed and he is expected to feature against Chelsea this weekend.

And Hahnemann, who joined Everton recently as cover for Tim Howard, expressed his delight at playing alongside the 33-year-old once more.

The American told the Liverpool Echo: “I played with Saha at Fulham and it’s great to be reunited with him again. He’s still one of the greatest I’ve ever played with.

“He could shoot the ball with either foot equally as well. Not many people in the game can do that.”

Hahnemann, 39, also confessed his admiration for Saha’s physical prowess, and admitted that he himself would struggle to keep up with the former Manchester United man.

He added: “He’s got speed and he just glides when he runs it doesn’t even look like he touches the ground. I don’t get it, because when I run it hurts.”
