Crystal Palace boss Sam Allardyce is ready to sign permanently on-loan Liverpool defender Mamadou Sakho.

Allardyce admits Sakho has put himself in the shop window thanks to his spell at Selhurst Park.

He said: "Does Mama want to stay?

"Has Mama created a market for himself for other clubs, if not in the Premier League, in Europe, because they have monitored his performances with us?

"It is a big decision he has to make. If we stay in the Premier League, we will try our best to sign him.

"We will see how we go without him on Sunday. We have managed without Scott Dann and James Tomkins, with Martin Kelly stepping in, and let's see how well they can do without him.

"I will tell you what might be and what might not be when we get safe."
