The former Paris Saint-Germain captain arrived in south London in a £26m deal from Liverpool back in 2017, following a stunning six-month loan spell prior to the permanent deal in which he was nominated for the club’s Player of the Season award.
Since then, he has formed a formidable partnership alongside James Tomkins at the back, which has been the foundation of what is currently the fifth best defence in the Premier League, behind only Liverpool, Manchester City, Tottenham and Chelsea.
Sakho can, however, be a controversial figure amongst Palace fans, as he often tends to do outlandish things such as back-heel the ball inside his own box and play risky passes – real heart in mouth stuff.
