Mamadou Sakho to leave Liverpool on loan

Liverpool and France international defender Mamadou Sakho has been told that he is free to leave Anfield on loan. The centre back has fallen out with the Anfield club's manager Juergen Klopp.

Sakho who recently tested positive for a banned substance, has been told that he is unlikely to feature in Liverpool's first team this season and can head for a transfer elsewhere.

Arsenal, Valencia and Paris St Germain are all amongst the teams supposedly interested in a move for the defender.

Sakho is still considered an important part of Liverpool's long term plans and will therefore not be sold on a permanent deal.
