Olympique Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas has declared their interest in Crystal Palace defender Mamadou Sakho.

Aulas raised the prospect of moving for the former PSG captain last week and has now followed that up with a more concrete declaration.

OL have been linked with Sakho and Inter Milan veteran Diego Godin.

And Aulas says both have been discussed at board level.

"These are among the mentioned names, there were also many others," he confirmed on Sunday.
