The video comes the same week as the defender revealed his amazing secret handshakes with the whole Crystal Palace team.

Dressed in his Palace training kit, the defender makes different gestures including a salute with Patrick van Aanholt and dabbing with Bakary Sako.

The French defender has proved a fan-favourite at Selhurst Park after joining from Liverpool in August 2017 following a successful loan spell with the club.

The Eagles centre-back shared the incredible routine while celebrating his 28th birthday by opening an exchange with fellow ex-Red, Cristian Benteke.

Sakho then showcases his handshakes with Max Meyer and Jordan Ayew before displaying his signature salute with full-back van Aanholt.

The then-28-year-old then crosses the Palace dining room to end the video with a succinct shake with Eagles starlet Aaron Wan-Bissaka.

Sakho has been a mainstay for Palace this season, with the club sitting in 13th place in the Premier League and three points above the drop zone.
