Senegalese duo will pay off for Pool, says Houiller

GERARD HOULLIER believes Liverpool will see the best of their Senegalese duo, striker El-Hadji Diouf and midfielder Salif Diao, in the second half of the season.

The Anfield boss invested a total of £15 million in bringing the pair over from French football.

Diouf cost a massive £10 million from Lens in June while Diao's signature was secured a month earlier when he was drafted in from Sedan.
