          Liverpool centre-back Tiago Ilori has moved to French Ligue 1 side Bordeaux on loan for the 2014-15 season.

          Ilori was unable to displace Martin Skrtel, Mamadou Sakho or Daniel Agger from the starting XI last season and was loaned to Granada in January. He now has Dejan Lovren to compete with as well, so has opted to spend the whole season playing first-team football elsewhere.
