Liverpool had been in the running for Arsenal's Gael Clichy, but having missed out to Manchester City, they have continued to look for a left back, which has proved a problem position since the disaster signing of Paul Konchesky. Fabio Aurelio is a talented player, but is very often a sufferer of injuries, and the £8.7 million capture of the promising Cissokho would certainly strengthen the defence.
Arsenal have been linked to Cissokho in the past, and possibly may still be interested in a left back considering the departure of their first choice, Clichy, however, it seems Arsenal have in fact set their sights on a move for Newcastle's Spaniard, Jose Enrique.
Cissokho has made a total of 75 appearances for Lyon over a period of two seasons, and scored 2 goals, while earning one appearance for his country. His contract at the French side runs out in 2014 having signed a five year contract in 2009 after joining from FC Porto.
Lyon are prepared to sell their left back, and have a replacement lined up it seems, as they have taken a keen interest in Benoit Tremoulinas of Bordeaux.
