£18m tag slapped on Saha

FULHAM last night slapped a prohibitive £18million price tag on the head of Louis Saha as Chelsea joined Manchester United in the chase for the French forward.

The Cottagers insist reports their star striker is poised to join United for £9.8m are without foundation.

And the transfer saga stepped up yesterday when Fulham sources said their west London rivals Chelsea have now "expressed an interest" in Saha.
