The complete guide to...Mamadou Sakho
French defender Mamadou Sakho signed for Liverpool today - and here we bring you our handy guide to everything regarding our new recruit, from social media to statistics to his career scrapbook.
Wiki says...
Sakho is known for his leadership credentials, his tireless engine, hard-working attitude, and his tackling ability. He has also been praised for his 'physical and tactical qualities'.
In his scrapbook...
At the end of last season, Sakho got his hands on silverware when Carlo Ancelotti's PSG were crowned Ligue 1 champions. They went on to win the Trophée des Champions in the same year. In 2008, he won the Coupe de la Ligue and in 2010 Sakho was part of the Paris side that won the Coupe de France.

The social media...
The Reds' new centre-back is a presence on Twitter too it seems. He has more than 250,000 followers on the social media platform - a number we expect will rise rapidly after today's announcement. The Frenchman follows just 20 accounts, two of which are former Liverpool players Nicolas Anelka and Momo Sissoko.
The numbers game...
Sakho is 23 years of age, yet despite his relatively tender years, he managed to rack up 201 appearances for Paris Saint-Germain. During that time he managed seven goals from the defensive position.

Sakho is renowned for the eccentric hairstyles he often displays while playing - and his distinctive styles even earned him the nickname 'Kirikou' due to the resemblance he bears to a French cartoon character.
