Defender agrees new contract at Anfield
Liverpool Football Club have announced that Mamadou Sakho has signed a new long-term deal at the club.
The announcement comes after reports broke this morning suggesting the Frenchman wouldn’t be putting pen to paper on a new deal due to fears over his status within the first-team.
So far this season Brendan Rodgers has used Dejan Lovren and Martin Skrtel as the centre-back pairing, leaving Sakho on the bench.
However, the 25-year-old has ended speculation on his future by signing a new long-term deal at the club.
Sakho Statement
After committing his future to the club, the 25-year-old told Liverpoolfc.com: “I am very happy to sign a long-term contract with Liverpool because, as I’ve always said, I am very happy here and my family are happy in Liverpool.
“I will keep working because I am a Liverpool soldier and when Liverpool need me, I try to give my best. I am happy to stay as a Scouser!
“I work all the time 100 per cent, I try to stay professional and I give my best for this city and this club.
“It is important for me because every day when I wake up, I am very happy to come into the training ground with all the players.”
