Cisse not going to Liverpool, says Auxerre president

FRENCH international Djibril Cisse has challenged Auxerre’s decision to block his move to Liverpool.

The Auxerre president Jean-Claude Hamel said earlier this week it was out of the question Cisse would leave in the summer. But the 22-year-old striker has reiterated his desire to move to Anfield despite being contracted to Auxerre until 2007.

Cisse, whom Liverpool believe they can sign for around £12m, said "I dream of joining this club now. Everyone needs to know that. I am strong enough to leave, I want to go and see what happens in England.
