Will Mamadou Sakho remain at Liverpool for the 2017-18 campaign?

John Arne Riise has predicted on social networking site Twitter that Mamadou Sakho will remain at Liverpool for the 2017-18 campaign.

Sakho has been on the books of Liverpool since the summer of 2013 when he made the move from Paris Saint-Germain for a transfer fee reported by The Guardian to be worth £16 million.

The France international defender arrived at Anfield with a strong reputation, but the centre-back has failed to make a huge impact and spent the second half of last season on loan at Crystal Palace.

The 27-year-old has not played for Liverpool since April 2016 and, according to The Liverpool Echo, the Reds will sell him in the summer transfer window if they receive a suitable offer.

The Liverpool Echo has also claimed that the Merseyside outfit value the former PSG defender at £30m.

Former Liverpool star Riise has predicted on Twitter that Sakho will work hard and play for the Premier League club this season.
