Saha wants a plane ticket to South Africa

Everton striker Louis Saha has said he'd be delighted to get a call up for France for the World Cup finals. "I am trying to put thoughts of a World Cup call-up to one side. I need to concentrate on my form for Everton. Obviously though if I got a call-up I would love to be there", said the man, who last featured for Les Blues in 2008.

Saha's career has been plagued with injuries, but he's one of the most dangerous strikers, when he's 100% fit. Proving that this season, having already found the net 9 times in the Premier League.

It's no doubt hard to get into the French side, especially if you're a striker. Anelka, Henry and Benzema should be nailed on selections for the strikers department, there's probably only one slot left.

Saha has to compete with players like André-Pierre Gignac and Bafétimbi Gomis. Gignac has was in great form last season in the Ligue 1, in the end topping the scorers chart by a country mile and 24 goals (Benzema and PSG's Guillaume Hoarau followed with 17). This season the goals have been hard to come and there are doubts if he has the quality to perform at international level. Gomis was a star for Saint-Etienne last season, but has found himself sharing game time with Lisandro Lopez this season at Lyon.

Regarding the controversial qualification for France, Saha agreed with his former Manchester United teammate Roy Keane, saying: "It is a shame people are still talking about the way France qualified. It was a decision made by the referee but it wasn't a decision in the last minute. There was plenty of time for the Republic of Ireland to score another goal. France did the job so we should move on now."
