Liverpool forward Anthony Le Tallec has completed a permanent transfer to Le Mans.

The Frenchman spent last season on loan at Stade Leon-Bollee after failing to catch the eye of Reds manager Rafa Benitez.

Le Tallec was a signing of former Liverpool boss Gerard Houllier when moving from Le Havre in 2003.

The 23-year-old was offered opportunities to impress in Benitez's first season at Anfield in 2004/05, particularly in Liverpool's successful UEFA Champions League campaign.

However, Benitez failed to view Le Tallec as part of his long-term plans and the former France Under 21 international has now left Merseyside.
