For some time now it’s been clear that Mamadou Sakho is on the verge of leaving Liverpool. It was expected that he would likely make his loan at Crystal Palace a permanent move.
Surprisingly though, the Express claim that the Liverpool centre-back has attracted the attention of Tottenham.
With Crystal Palace stumbling over Liverpool’s £30m asking price, Tottenham are prepared to swoop in. Mauricio Pochettino is reportedly prepared to pay the full £30m to snatch Sakho from the hands of their London rivals.
Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish claims the club cannot afford to sign Sakho despite long-term interest in the player according to the Metro.
It appears that Tottenham are in a much healthier financial situation and have Champions League football additionally which would certainly help attract the player.
