Lille are interested in signing Liverpool defender Mamadou Sakho in the January transfer window, according to Sport365.fr (via maxifoot). The 26 year old has been sidelined by Jurgen Klopp since the start of the season after the French international turned down the opportunity to go out loan in the summer.

Klopp wanted the centre back to prove himself, both in terms of improved attitude and fitness, on a loan spell but Sakho refused to leave and has not been seen in first team action since.

After complaining on social media that he wasn’t even being given the opportunity to improve his fitness in Liverpool’s Under 23 side, the Frenchman was given matches in Michael Beale’s team after discussions between Klopp and the player.

The fact that Klopp overlooked Sakho for the squad to play Tottenham in the EFL Cup last night despite picking others from the Under 23 side is another indication however that Sakho’s time at Anfield has come to an end.
