Moving Day: Cisse to Marseilles, Hamann to Bolton

A number of players moves today for the Reds. Djibril Cisse is expected to officially join Marseille on loan on Wednesday.

The striker, who was originally called up by coach Raymond Domenech for the World Cup in Germany, was forced to stay at home after breaking his right leg during France's 3-1 win in a friendly against China on June 7.

The Club has also confirmed that stalwart Didi Hamann is headed to Bolton. Hamann's decision to leave the Reds brings to an end a glorious seven year spell on Merseyside during which he played an inspirational role in bringing a succession of top honours to the club.

Known as 'The Kaiser' by his Anfield team-mates, Hamann was signed by Gerard Houllier from Newcastle United for £8 million in July 1999 and quickly became a fans favourite.

He went on to make 283 appearances for Liverpool scoring 11 goals. In 2002 Hamann became the first Liverpool player since Roger Hunt in 1966 to play in a World Cup Final.

Thanks Didi! You'll be remembered in our hearts!
