Crystal Palace are encouraging Lyon to firm up their interest in Mamadou Sakho.

Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas has confirmed they're keen to bring the former PSG captain back to France this summer.

And Le Parisien reports with just a year to run on his deal, Palace are prepared to do business over Sakho.

There is also hope at OL that Sakho will agree to a cut on his current €500,000-a-month wages.

Aulas said on Sunday: "I really like Mamadou because he has the right personality, now there are also other very high level tracks, so it's up to the coaches to choose."
