Report: Liverpool Looks to Make Moves For Everton Back Leighton Baines, Lyon's Aly Cissokho

Already having acquired Jordan Henderson and Charlie Adam this summer, Liverpool boss Kenny Dalglish now may be looking at going after Everton star Leighton Baines to shore up the club's left back position.
The Reds had been working toward a deal with Gael Clichy, but the 25-year-old opted for a deal with Manchester City instead. Rumors of a move for Newcastle fullback Jose Enrique were also short-lived as the Magpies appear content to hang on to the Spaniard.
These failures have forced Dalglish to explore other options, including a deal for Baines. Everton boss David Moyes is operating with a restricted budget and could be tempted to unload some talent in order to make ends meet.
In addition to Baines, the Metro is reporting that French club Lyon is willing to listen to offers for their left back, Aly Cissokho. The French side appear to be hoping for around £8 million, even though they bought the 23-year-old for £13 million. According to transfermarkt, Cissokho is worth around £10 million while Baines is £12 million player.
Liverpool has been searching for a solution to the team's left back position, which saw a rotation of Paul Konchesky, Fabio Aurelio and Jack Robinson at the spot. The squad was even forced to play Glen Johnson and Danny Wilson out of position at times to fill holes in the lineup.
The 26-year-old Baines has been with Everton since 2007 and prior to that spent five years with Wigan Athletic. The 2010-11 season was his best as a professional, scoring seven goals and adding 11 assists in 44 games for the Toffees. He has 11 goals in 273 career Premier League matches.
