Crystal Palace in Talks Over Bakary Sako Return to Selhurst Park on Short-Term Deal From West Brom

Crystal Palace have entered talks with former player Bakary Sako with a view to offering the forward a short-term contract at Selhurst Park.

The Mali international is currently on the books at West Brom, with the 30-year-old having signing a contract at the Hawthorns after being invited to train and prove his fitness under boss Darren Moore.

According to the Daily Mail, it now seems Roy Hodgson is keen on being reunited with the player, who rejected fresh terms in south London in favour of becoming a free agent last summer.

Sako suffered a serious ankle injury last year but recovered to score six goals in 19 appearances for Palace last term, yet despite this opted to pursue other options in the summer.
