Mamadou Sakho is officially a Crystal Palace player until the end of the season after the belated announcement on his loan move from Liverpool.
“CPFC are pleased to announce the signing of [Sakho] on loan from [Liverpool] until the end of the season,” the club’s official Twitter announced with Sakho posing in an Eagles shirt.
Mamadou Sakho became Liverpool’s fourth January exit after he completed a temporary move to Crystal Palace for the remainder of the season on transfer deadline day.
“Liverpool FC can confirm Mamadou Sakho has joined Crystal Palace on loan until the end of the season,” a statement on the Reds’ official site read.
The 26-year-old former Paris Saint-Germain defender was delighted to complete the move on deadline day and revealed that he has already received calls from some Eagles players welcoming him to the club.
Sakho was also confident regarding his fitness levels despite not playing for the Liverpool first-team this season.
“I very happy to sign for the club, the project is very interesting and I came for that challenge,” Sakho told Palace’s official site.
“We need to win a lot of games that is my main objective for the season. It is a new chapter for me and will give my best like I do always,” the France international added.
