# Allardyce hoping to seal a deal for Sakho

According to the [Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-4436034/Crystal-Palace-boss-Sam-Allardyce-wants-Mamadou-Sakho-deal.html), Crystal Palace boss Sam Allardyce is looking to sign Mamadou Sakho on a permanent deal in the summer.

Sakho has been solid since signing for the Eagles and it’s understood that a permanent deal is on the cards. Sakho could not play earlier today in Palace’s 2-1 victory over Liverpool as he’s only on loan from the Merseyside club.

However after being told that he isn’t in Jurgen Klopps’s plans, he may want to secure a move to London.

Sam Allardyce has steered Crystal Palace towards safety since joining and they now sit in 12th place and look comfortable for a lower mid-table finish.

When Allardyce joined, Palace were in big trouble and many critics claimed that this was too big of a challenge for Allardyce. However, he has proved his doubters wrong and Steve Parish may reward him with a big budget for the upcoming transfer window.

In Palace’s remaining five games they still have to play Tottenham, Manchester City and Manchester United. Mamadou Sakho may still have a big role to play in the squad.
