Sakho was quoted in the Daily Express by Paul Brown as saying: “It’s not easy to show what I can do, or prove to the people what I can do on the pitch, when I only play for 10 minutes. But I don’t need to knock on the manager’s door – I showed what I can do, I have to force my way into the team. I was very close to leaving, but now I am here and I am enjoying the little time I’ve had on the pitch to prove myself, and after the international break we will see if I can get more. In my head I just want to enjoy being part of this team and we will see what happens in January.”
