Royals move for French star Cisse

Reading have signed Boavista midfielder Kalifa Cisse on a three-year-contract.The 22-year-old Frenchman, who has spent the last two seasons with the Portuguese side, becomes Steve Coppell's first signing of the summer.

Royals director of football Nicky Hammond said: "Kalifa is a 6ft 2ins central midfielder who has also played in defence. He has real athletic ability and the technical attributes that should be well suited to the Premiership."

Sounds like they've found a holding middie to replace Sidwell.  Wouldn't expect him to be a fantasy buy next season unless he's listed as a defender.  But even then, Cisse isn't a name with a great history in the Premiership, with neither Djibril nor Aliou leaving much of a mark.
