Former Liverpool attacker Sinama-Pongolle keen to head back to England

Sporting Lisbon's Florent Sinama-Pongolle is looking to leave the club and return to England.

The 27-year old former Liverpool attacker has been loaned out by Sporting over the past two seasons - to Real Zaragoza and Saint-Etienne - and his agent says he now wants to head back to the UK.

"Florent is hoping to come back to England and Sporting are willing to let him go for free or on loan," Neil Sang told skysports.com.

"I am talking to a host of clubs about Florent and we will see what the best options open to Florent are."

Pongolle joined Liverpool in 2001 before departing for Recreativo in 2006 after struggling for regular first team football. During his time at Anfield he had loans with Le Havre and Blackburn Rovers and has also played for Atletico Madrid during his career.
