Saa Louis is a former French footballer who has gained worldwide fame in the English Manchester United. Now he is 38 years old, and he has long completed his professional career. Saa Louis played as a center forward.
Carier start
Saa Louis was born on August 8, 1978 in France, into a family of immigrants from Guadeloupe. Already at the age of 12, he entered the sports academy "Soisy-Andiilly-Marjancy", from which three years later he moved to "Clerfontaine". But there he stayed only for two years, and in 1995 ended up at the Mets club academy, with which he signed a contract when he was eighteen years old. Only in 1997, the player managed to make his debut for the club, and he spent 26 matches, scoring just one goal. The first half of the second season was also not the most successful, so in the winter of 1999 the striker was leased to the English Newcastle, for which he played 12 matches and scored two goals. When Saha returned to the Mets, he got a base spot and scored 12 goals in 35 matches. And in 2000, Saa Louis moved to the English Fulham, who noticed a young talent during a lease at Newcastle, for three million euros.
Club Level Game
Saa Louis is a French footballer who spent almost his entire career in England. It all started with a lease at Newcastle, and then continued with a move to Fulham. There, young talent began to develop rapidly, and for the three and a half years spent in the club, he played in 142 matches and scored 63 goals. In the winter of 2004, the Frenchman was invited to one of the country's strongest clubs, Manchester United. Such an offer is simply not refused. Fulham received impressive compensation in the amount of 17 and a half million euros, and Saa began to play at a qualitatively new level. In “Manchester” he spent four and a half years, during which time he played in 124 matches and scored 42 goals. It was there that fame came to him - and there his star went out. As a result, in the summer of 2008, the contract was not renewed with the Frenchman, and he went to Everton. There, the striker spent three and a half years, having entered the field 115 times and scoring 35 goals. When his contract expired in the winter of 2012, the 33-year-old striker signed a short-term agreement with Tottenham, where he scored 4 goals in 12 matches in six months. The season 12/13 was the last for the striker - he spent the first half in Sunderland and the second in the Italian Lazio, but he could not score a single goal in either club
Team appearances
In the French national team, Saa made his debut in February 2004, just after moving to Manchester United. In the debut match against the Belgian national team, he immediately scored a goal, but in all his career he played only 20 matches, marking four goals.
