Cisse, who takes El-Hadji-Diouf's number nine shirt at Anfield, becomes the first buy of the summer for a price yet to be announced by the club.

The jet-heeled striker was long coveted by former Liverpool boss Gerard Houllier and, despite fears that the French coach's exit may threaten the deal, he will compete with Milan Baros and Michael Owen in an exciting forward-line at Anfield.


A Liverpool spokesman said : "The club can confirm that Djibril Cisse is a Liverpool player with effect from today."
