Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish keen to sign £30m Mamadou Sakho from Liverpool after successful loan spell at Selhurst Park

Crystal Palace are keen to sign on-loan defender Mamadou Sakho on a permanent basis from Liverpool but the move must fulfil the financial expectations of both Premier League clubs, Eagles chairman Steve Parish has said.

Sakho, who joined Palace in January, helped the club keep four clean sheets and record five wins in eight league appearances before he sustained a season-ending knee injury in April.

Palace have lost twice in three games without Sakho and are eager to sign the 27-year-old France international, but media reports suggested Liverpool had set an asking price of £30million for the centre back.
