Birmingham bid £4m for Crystal Palace winger Bakary Sako as Derby also show interest

Derby County and Birmingham City have made moves to sign Crystal Palace winger Bakary Sako.

The 28-year-old is keen to leave Selhurst Park to play more regularly and Birmingham have opened the bidding at £4million.

Sako joined Palace from Wolves in 2015 and the Mali international has made just four appearances this season.

Prior to that, though, he had been a key part of Kenny Jackett's Wanderers side which won promotion from League One in 2014, scoring 13 goals himself as he formed a lethal partnership with striker Nouha Dicko.
