  Louis Saha's wage demands won’t scare off Arsenal as Spurs and Liverpool monitor striker
  

  Arsenal are weighing up a move for Everton striker Louis Saha after it became clear his contract negotiations have hit an impasse.

  Everton are thought to be unhappy at the Frenchman's demands for a new £60,000-a-week deal that would span up to three more years.

  While Saha is Everton's top scorer with 12 this season, he is still hindered by injuries and the club would prefer to present him with a shorter deal with bonus payments.

  

  In talks: Louis Saha (centre) is out of contract in the summer

  Arsenal, Tottenham and Liverpool have all been monitoring his situation, knowing that he is a free agent in the summer.

  Saha is 31 but Arsenal are willing to compromise their stance on offering just one-year contracts to players over 30 and would look at a two-year deal with a one-year option.

  Manager Arsene Wenger hailed Saha last week when discussing strikers for France's World Cup squad.

  He said: 'When Saha plays 10 games on the trot you can compare him with any striker.'

  Everton have expressed an interest in a loan deal for Marseille winger Hatem Ben Arfa.

  Saha is good actually, but too injury-prone. Arsenal seems to have a liking to United old Frenchmen. Silvestre jumped ship and Saha seems to be following. Whats next? David Bellion? Patrice Evra? Laurent Blanc?
