Crystal Palace have joined the pursuit of Liverpool outcast Mamadou Sakho, according to a report from the Daily Mail.

The report claims that the Eagles will have to compete with Galatasaray, Sevilla and other clubs in the Premier League for the services of the French centre-back.

Eagles boss Sam Allardyce is desperate to bolster his squad this month and has identified the 26-year-old as a possible target.

Sakho has failed to make a senior appearance for the Reds this season after falling out with manager Jurgen Klopp in the summer and is eager to secure his exit from Anfield this month.
