Mamadou Sakho is set to complete a £26million move from Liverpool to Crystal Palace.

The France international has travelled to London to undergo a medical after the two clubs finally reached an agreement over the fee.

Eagles chairman Steve Parish increased their offer on deadline day after a third bid of £22million up front with a further £3million to follow in add-ons was rejected on Wednesday.

Sakho had also attracted interest from Leicester City and West Brom but his preference was always to move to Selhurst Park where he enjoyed a successful loan spell in the second half of last season.

The centre-back's performances for Palace helped them pull away from the relegation zone and he was a popular figure with their fans.

Palace had little option but to stump up more cash after enduring a nightmare start to the campaign.

Sakho, who cost £18million from Paris Saint-Germain in 2013, hasn’t played for the Reds since April 2016.

His relationship with Jurgen Klopp broke down after he angered the manager with repeated breaches of club discipline.
