N'Gog is a free agent, having parted ways with Swansea earlier this summer, and according to France Bleu, is on Metz's radar as a replacement for Sakho.

The 25-year-old started his career in his homeland with Paris Saint-Germain, but was snapped up by Liverpool in 2008.

 


N'Gog remained at Anfield for three years before heading to Bolton Wanderers for £4m.
