Liverpool close in on Sotirios Kyrgiakos

Liverpool have announced that they are close to finalising a deal to bring experienced defender Sotirios Kyrgiakos to Anfield.

Speaking to LFC.TV Rafa said:

“We have nearly done the deal subject to a medical. He is a player with experience who can hopefully help us in defence.

“He has experience in British football and Rangers. After that with Frankfurt and the national team. He’s a good player in the air, strong and aggressive. We were looking for a player with experience.

“He will have the medical this week, it has to be before the weekend.”

“The young players know they need experience and so to learn alongside people with this experience is better.”
