According to The Daily Mail, Bakary Sako will terminate his contract at West Bromwich Albion and return to Crystal Palace.

It has been reported that the former Wolverhampton Wanderers star is in talks with West Brom regarding ending his time at the Championship club.

The 30-year-old, who can operate as an attacking midfielder or as a winger, joined the Baggies under manager Darren Moore only in October after leaving Palace at the end of last season.

According to The Daily Mail, West Brom are willing to let go of the Mali international, with Palace ready to sign him on a short-term contract.

No big loss

Sako has not made a big impact at West Brom, and one suspects that the Mali international attacker will not be a big loss for the Baggies.

The 30-year-old has made just two starts and three substitute appearances in the Championship for the Baggies so far this campaign, according to WhoScored.

With Palace fighting for survival in the Premier League, Sako’s arrival will be good for the team in their quest to escape the dreaded drop to the Championship.
