# Liverpool: Fans discuss Mamadou Sakho after latest comments

**Mamadou Sakho was a regular for Liverpool when Jurgen Klopp first arrived at the club.**

The 52-year-old joined in October 2015 following the 1-1 draw with Everton, and Sakho would end up starting [18](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mamadou-sakho/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/47713/plus/0/saison/2015/wettbewerb/GB1/verein/31) games in the Premier League that term. He also made [10](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/mamadou-sakho/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/47713) appearances in the Europa League, even scoring in the comeback against Borussia Dortmund too.

However, [a doping ban](https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2636327-mamadou-sakho-suspended-30-days-by-uefa-latest-comments-and-reaction) towards the end of that campaign after testing positive for a type of fat burner effectively ended his career at the club – he finished with 80 appearances before making the switch to Crystal Palace, who paid [£26m](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/41080393) for him after he had spent some time on loan at the club.

It seems that the France international was fond of his time on Merseyside though. He told [Stadium Mag](https://it4v7.interactiv-doc.fr/html/stadium25_hd_866): “When I left PSG, I had offers from Barcelona, Bayern, Arsenal and Liverpool. I choose Liverpool because they were one of the clubs of my dreams with a great history. I had the chance to spend four years there in the Reds’ shirt at Anfield with a fantastic crowd.”

These quotes were shared by Twitter page Anfield Edition, and the supporters were quick to share their opinions – one fan even called him “[bambi on ice](https://twitter.com/Lpostcode/status/1250544854993641476?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw).”
