Mamadou Sakho is quickly adapting to the pace of the Premier League and his performance against Sunderland in Liverpool’s 3-1 victory there on Sunday showed yet more sings why he’s a tough defender for strikers to deal with.
The French international was signed from Paris Saint-Germain on the final day of the summer transfer window and four games into his career on Merseyside is winning a lot of fans.
Here are what some of the fans were saying about him on Twitter over the weekend, with many pointing to his impressive statistics to prove his quality:

You could see signs of Sakho's strengths in the 2nd half. Wait a few more games – I see a lot to come from this young man.

Mamadou Sakho: 49 passes @ 96%. 8 clearances, all 8 effective. 3 intercepts, 2 shots blocked, 4 aerial duels won. BEAST.

Thought Sakho was immense today. Very good in possession and solid at the back. Settling in nicely

Sakho has been brilliant today. Looking better each game. Pleasing result Sturridge and Suarez awesome
