PALACE HOPEFUL ON SAKHO

Crystal Palace are hopeful that a deal could be reached with Liverpool over the permanent signing of defender Mamadou Sakho.
Sakho has been a pivotal member of the Palace team since joining from Liverpool on loan on transfer deadline night, helping the club to five wins in the seven matches he completed.

Palace will attempt to make the centre-half’s move permanent but must weigh up whether the financial package required is viable before their fifth consecutive campaign in the Premier
League, with Liverpool demanding at least £30m for the French international.

Although Sakho has enjoyed his spell at Selhurst Park, it remains to be seen whether he is willing to make that move permanent even if a fee is agreed, or whether he will explore the possibility of playing in European competition elsewhere.
