The 25-year-old Cissokho, who has also played for FC Porto and Lyon,
will provide competition for Jose Enrique at left back.
"Ive always dreamt of one day signing for a really legendary club," said
Cissokho, whose one France cap came in August 2010 against Norway. "Ive
been lucky enough to play for a few top sides, and so to now get the
chance to play for a club like Liverpool, its just fantastic."
Valencia said Liverpool has the option of buying the pacy Cissokho at
the end of his loan deal.
Cissokho joined the Spanish club on a four-year contract from Lyon last
summer. While playing for Porto earlier in his career, he was reportedly
close to a move to AC Milan before a medical test showed Cissokho
apparently had a dental problem that could cause muscular injuries.
He joins fellow off-season signings Iago Aspas, Luis Alberto, Simon
Mignolet and Kolo Toure at Anfield. Liverpool began the Premier League
season with a 1-0 win over Stoke on Saturday.

LATROBE, Pa. -- Pittsburgh Steelers lineman Alejandro
Villanueva has a chance to compete for one of the most important
positions along the offensive line.Villanueva, in just his second
season, is locked in a tight training camp competition with veteran free
agent acquisition Ryan Harris at left tackle, the blind side of
Steelers star quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.For an undrafted guy like
me, this is a best-case scenario, to be able to compete for a starting
position coming into my second year, Villanueva said. Usually the draft
or free agency brings in high-caliber players and I feel I can compete
with players, but I just cant compete with a salary.Im thankful for the
opportunity to at least get to compete.The Steelers signed Villanueva to
their practice squad in 2014 after he was cut by Philadelphia as a
defensive end. The team moved the 6-foot-9 Villanueva to left tackle as
the former undrafted free agent and Army Ranger gained almost 100 pounds
to play along the offensive line.He made the team in 2015 as the swing
tackle and was thrust into the starting role after Kelvin Beachum -- now
in Jacksonville -- tore his anterior cruciate ligament six games into
the season.Villanueva stepped right in, starting the final 10 games.Al
did a great job last year and hes a guy whos still learning so much,
offensive line coach Mike Munchak said of the 27-year-old Villanueva,
who appeared in all 16 games.Als got so much upside and the more he
plays, he just gets better every time hes out there.Villanueva feels as
if hes grown substantially entering his second season. He took an
important lesson from his first NFL start at left tackle -- a loss at
Kansas City -- when he allowed a sack against Tamba Hali that clinched
the victory for the Chiefs.Everybody makes mistakes, but one mistake can
cost you the game Sunday, Villanueva said. You can play a great game,
but if you give up a sack, its really uugly.

arris, a nine-year veteran, earned a Super Bowl ring last season,
starting all 19 games at left tackle for Peyton Manning, Brock Osweiler
and the Denver Broncos. The 31-year-old Harris signed a two-year
contract with the Steelers as an unrestricted free agent in March.Ryan
has a lot of experience and already knows a lot of the little stuff that
Als learning because hes been in the league and hes been successful,
Munchak said. Hes been through the ups and downs of the NFL.He was a
Super Bowl champion and that brings confidence to your play and the
people around you. Hes learned a lot over the years and hes a nice
addition to our group.The 6-foot-5, 302-pound Harris has appeared in 110
games, making 70 starts. Harris played for three different teams,
including two stints in Denver.My perseverance has given me a lot of
confidence, almost as much confidence as my Super Bowl ring, Harris
said. Im just happy to be able to continue to do something I love every
day.Munchak believes the competition has brought out the best in both
players, as Villanueva and Harris rotate daily with the first-team
offense. Hes excited to see who ultimately wins the job.You want to do
it as quick as you can, so the group knows which direction were headed
and they can get used to each other, Munchak said. I think it has a way
of playing itself out where it becomes obvious whos the best fit.Game
