1 Mamadou Sakho Roma are targeting a January swoop for Liverpool defender Mamadou Sakho, according to reports in Italy.The Frenchman has been struggling with a knee injury since the beginning of November but returned to training this week ahead of Liverpool’s trip to Watford on Sunday.According to Corriere dello Sport, Roma sporting director Walter Sabatini has been in contact with Liverpool to enquire over Sakho’s availability.The report also suggests Sakho is considering his future at Anfield and would be open to a move to Italy.It is understood that Reds boss Jurgen Klopp is unconvinced about Sakho’s ability to operate as one of the club’s first-choice centre-backs but wants to keep hold of him for the time being following the horrific injury suffered by Dejan Lovren on Sunday.
