Crystal Palace are refusing to give up on Liverpool defender Mamadou Sakho.

Palace are set to make one last push for the Frenchman next week ahead of Thursday’s deadline.

Boss Frank de Boer had insisted Palace have been priced out of move for Sakho, 27.

Liverpool want £30m for the central defender who impressed on loan at Selhurst Park last season.

But privately they still hope there is a slim chance a compromise deal can be reached for the out-of-favour stopper.

Palace have lined up £15m Spurs defender Kevin Wimmer as a back up option if they fail in their last-ditch bid for Sakho.

But they face competition from Stoke for the Austrian, 24, who has told another of his suitors, West Brom that he doesn’t want to play left-back.

Palace are also among the clubs keen on Southampton striker Shane Long, 30, along with Newcastle and Brighton.
