Liverpool are hoping to land Aly Cissokho on the cheap, writes Dean Jones of the Sunday People.

The defender’s Spanish club Valencia are having financial problems so Reds boss Brendan Rodgers is looking at a bid of around £4million.

Reds target Cissokho played 20 times for Valencia last season after joining from Lyon in 2012.

The 25-year-old left-back has one cap for France - a friendly against Norway three years ago.

The Merseyside club had also been chasing fellow left-back Lucas Digne, 19, but the Lille man is opting for Monaco.
