Manchester United bound Louis Saha could hardly contain his delight with news of his pending move to join the Premiership champions.
"This is my dream come true. I thought this would never happen but I'm so pleased it has," the Fulham striker was quoted as saying in the Sunnewspaper today.
"Old Trafford is a lucky ground for me. It's where I started in the Premiership and scored two goals. Fulham was a fantastic place but I cannot wait for the challenge of proving myself at the biggest club in the world."
United confirmed today they had agreed in principle to buy Fulham's French striker Louis Saha for an undisclosed fee.
Fulham had reluctantly announced the deal to sell Saha to the English champions in a statement on their website last night.
United said the transfer, which comes after Fulham had rejected earlier approaches by the club, was "subject to a number of conditions".
British newspapers reported that the deal for the 25-year-old forward, who has scored around 13 goals this season, was worth around £12 million.
