DONE DEAL: Aston Villa defender Cissokho returns to Porto

Aston Villa's Aly Cissokho has joined FC Porto on loan.

The 27-year-old left-back has returned to the Portuguese giants on a season-long after falling down the pecking order at Villa Park.

Frenchman Cissokho arrived at Villa last summer from Valencia after spending the 2013/14 campaign on loan at Liverpool.

He spent half of 2009 with Porto and will now head back to the Estadio do Dragao following the summer arrival of Jordan Amavi in the West Midlands.
