£26m Sakho gets his move

MAMADOU SAKHO is joining Crystal Palace permanently in a £26million move from Liverpool.

He spent last season’s run-in on loan at Palace and helped them keep their Premier League status.

The Reds rejected £22m plus add-ons. But the France centre-half (left) was keen to return and after Palace upped their bid, he agreed a five-year deal at Selhurst Park.
