Cisse wants to stay and fight for ’Pool place

FRANCE striker Djibril Cisse has ended speculation linking him with a move back to Ligue 1 by pledging his long-term future to Liverpool.

The 24-year-old has struggled to establish himself at Anfield since joining from Auxerre last summer and has been linked with a potential move to either Monaco or Marseille.

However, with Liverpool missing out on the signing of England striker Michael Owen to Premiership rivals Newcastle, Cisse insists he is determined to stay and fight for his place in the team.
