Saha completed his short-term move to the Biancocelesti on Wednesday after spending 13 years in the Premier League with a number of clubs including Fulham, Manchester United, Everton, Tottenham and most recently Sunderland.
The 34-year-old is delighted to have the chance to play first-team football again after being used sparingly by Black Cats boss Martin O'Neill this season, and accepts that Lazio only approached him after seeing Klose suffer a knee injury.
The Germany international is expected to be out for two months, and Saha is more than happy to deputise for the veteran frontman.
"I am happy to be here, Lazio is a great club and Italy is a great country," he told Sky Sports. "I want to give my best. I am here to offer support after the injury to Klose, and I will do that willingly.
"This is a great group and it will be a pleasure to work with them."
Lazio coach Vladimir Petkovic added: "I am very happy with this gift from the club. The arrival of Saha allows us to be more competitive and he will also be useful once Klose returns."
