The Cisse deal will be formally completed when the transfer window re-opens on July 1st and the player arrives at Anfield with Rick Parry singing his praises.
"Cisse is a very exciting player with a good goalscoring record. He has pace and power and all the qualities a modern striker needs. He is someone who we believe is capable of scoring 20 goals a season.
"I don't think you could have taken the decision not to sign Cisse just because we have parted company with Gerard." enthused Parry.
