Liverpool monitoring PSG defender Mamadou Sakho

Amidst speculation of talks with Sporting Lisbon's Tiago Ilori coming to a stand still, Liverpool are looking at another solution elsewhere to strengthen their defence.

Reports suggest that the Anfield side are weighing an offer for Paris Saint-German's centre-back Mamadou Sakho.

The French defender has had less time to play regular first team football compared to his ability with the Ligue 1 champions last season mainly due to Carlo Ancelotti’s rotation policy, starting in just 24 matches out of a possible 38.

It seems unlikely to change even after PSG appointed a new coach in Laurent Blanc.The 23-year-old French International, who can also play as a left-back, has apparently stalled talks with PSG over a contract extension eventhough the club is willing to renew his contract with a monumental increase in his wages.

The French defender has so far made 196 apperances for the Ligue 1 champions and scored 7 goals durig the process.

It will be exciting to see where Mamadou Sakho moves to, as he aims to have a great competitive season to get him into the French world cup squad .
