Cisse spent last season with Marseille on loan from Liverpool, but the two clubs agreed on Friday to make his stay at the Stade Velodrome permanent.

The 25-year old striker spent three seasons at Liverpool, but he failed to make his mark as he frequently suffered from serious injuries including a horrific double leg break with France last year.

However, the former Auxerre forward returned to the Ligue 1 after recovering from his injury and had an impressive campaign with l'OM, guiding the team to the Champions League next season.
