Aly Cissokho is set to become Liverpool’s
fifth summer signing when he completes a
loan move today.
Cissokho had a medical yesterday on
Merseyside and is joining from Valencia for
the season. Brendan Rodgers wants him to
provide competition for Jose Enrique at
left-back and has the option of making the
French defender’s move permanent next
summer for £4million.
Rodgers hopes to hear today if he has
been successful in his £28m move for
Willian from Russian club Anzhi
Makhachkala.
The Liverpool boss wants the Brazil star as
his marquee signing of the summer and is
prepared to pay him £100,000 a week. The
Anfield club face competition from
Tottenham, who can offer European
football, and the winger is due to decide
within the next 24 hours.
Rodgers has also renewed his interest in
Sporting Lisbon’s Tiago Llori because the
defender has still not agreed a new
contract with the Portuguese club.
Rodgers shelved his interest in June when
Sporting rejected Liverpool’s £3m bid,
demanding around double that amount.
