Former Liverpool star Mohamed Sissoko joins ISL side FC Pune City

Momo Sissoko made 87 appearances for Liverpool between 2005 and 2008

Former Liverpool midfielder Mohamed Sissoko has joined Indian Super League side FC Pune City.

The ex-Valencia and Paris Saint German midfielder joins Pune as a replacement for marquee signing Eidur Gudjohnsen, who was ruled out of the ISL with an ankle injury.

Sissoko, 31, is the youngest marquee player in the third edition of the ISL, which kicked off on Saturday and runs until December. 

The Mali international spent two weeks on trial with West Brom last month and had been hoping to seal a move to the Premier League after failing to secure a deal with The Baggies.

Sissoko joined Liverpool in 2005, making 87 appearances for the club before joining Juventus in 2008.
