Sakho and Ilori join Liverpool for £25m

     Liverpool have signed Paris Saint Germain’s young defender Mamadou Sakho and Sporting Lisbon centre back Tiago Ilori for a combined fee of £25m. 

     Highly rated defender Sakho, 23, is valued around £15m and the fee for him is around that. He wants more first team football. 

     Ilori, 20, will be used to replace Kolo Toure and Aly Cissokho who were injured in the extra time Capital One Cup win against Notts County. 

     The two will join Victor Moses as signings made by Brendan Rodgers on transfer deadline day. 

Sakho smiles as he is presented to the media as a Liverpool player.

Ilori is a new defender at Liverpool
