Marseille delighted with Cheyrou coup

Cheyrou has struggled to find the form that saw him dubbed the 'new Zidane' by former Reds boss Gerard Houllier, but Agnio feels the French international midfielder will prove a fine acquisition for his side.

Agnio said: "I wanted Bruno to come to Marseille, he is a good player and the club needs men like him.

"He is smart and it was one of my main aims to recruit him. He is also talented, has a good left foot and is very athletic.

"I know he wants to take his revenge after a disappointing season with Liverpool. He has the right profile and mentality to succeed with Marseille."
