Cisse targets Anfield switch

Djibril Cisse has claimed in a leading football magazine that he is almost certain to join Liverpool after this season.

Auxerre coach Guy Roux has tried to hold on to his much-coveted hitman, but Cisse, under contract until June 2006, has said in an interview with France Football that he has a verbal agreement with Gerard Houllier that he will join Liverpool after the 2003-4 campaign.
