Cisse makes Marseille move

Marseille have announced the signing of Liverpool striker Djibril Cisse.

The move has been mooted for some time and now the French club have confirmed Cisse will play at Stade Velodrome next season.

Cisse has been a long-term target for Marseille as they have been chasing him for over a year.

The 24-year-old was told earlier this summer that he could leave Anfield as he did not figure in Rafa Benitez's plans.

Cisse has joined Marseille initially on a season-long loan with the option of a permanent deal.

The jet-heeled forward admitted his heart was set on a switch to Marseille.

"My choice was always Marseille," Cisse told the club's official website.

The former Auxerre ace is currently recovering from a broken leg and he is not expected to be back playing until October.
