Xavier set to leave Anfield

Last updated : 20 January 2003 By Chris Maxwell
Xavier, who joined the Reds from Merseyside rivals Everton last season, has found himself out of contention after suffering from illness early in the season.

Newspaper reports claim that Xavier will initially join the Turks on loan with a view to a permanent deal. If the deal goes through Xavier will be the third Liverpool player to leave Anfield in recent weeks - Bernard Diomede and Gregory Vignal were the first two players to be loaned out.
