Aly Cissokho: Liverpool agree loan deal to sign left-back from Valencia

Liverpool have agreed a deal to sign Aly Cissokho on loan from Valencia.

However, the 25-year-old left back, who has one France cap, will not be available for the opening match of the season against Stoke on Saturday.
He is expected on Merseyside next week to finalise a move which could become permanent next summer.
Manager Brendan Rodgers had wanted to sign another left back, Guilherme Siqueira from Spanish club Granada, but the clubs failed to agree a fee.
