West Brom want Mamadou Sakho

West Bromwich Albion are prepared to offer an escape route to out-of-favour Liverpool defender Mamadou Sakho. The France international has not kicked the ball for the Reds this season.

Sakho has been frozen out of Jurgen Klopp's side this term following his unprofessional behaviour in the club's pre-season tour of the United States.

According to The Liverpool Echo, the 26-year-old has given up hope of retaining his spot at Anfield, and will pursue his career at a fresh club elsewhere.

The Baggies are currently favourites to land the former Paris Saint-Germain man with a temporary deal being a probable option in the New Year.

Sakho was also the subject of a loan approach from Stoke City in the summer, and there could be further interest in his signature in the coming weeks.

The centre-half has been participating for Under 23 side over the past month with the view to improving on his match fitness.
