The former Manchester United striker left Goodison Park for White Hart Lane in a permanent move in January and it seems that the two British coaches made a gentleman’s agreement

Everton boss David Moyes has revealed that he and Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp have a “gentleman’s agreement” that Louis Saha will not play on Saturday.

The Spurs striker, 33, moved to White Hart Lane from Goodison Park on transfer deadline day in January on a one-and-a-half-year deal.

Although Redknapp is allowed to pick the French forward - unlike when a player is loaned to another club - Moyes believes that the Spurs coach will live up to his word for this weekend’s game at Everton.

“I think I have an agreement with Harry that he doesn't play,” the Scot told reporters on Friday.

“But if he plays it is not a problem. Harry told me if he is short of players he will play but if he is not he might not use him.”

Tottenham are 11/1 with Bet365 to beat Everton 2-0.

The former Manchester United striker moved to Everton in 2008 and spent three-and-a-half years on Merseyside, scoring 35 goals in 115 appearances.
