Tiago Ilori Joins Bordeaux on Loan
Portuguese defender, Tiago Abiola Ilori has joined Ligue 1 side, Bordeaux on a season-long loan deal from Liverpool.
Ilori joined the Premier League runners-up from Sporting Lisbon last September but has yet to make a competitive appearance for the Merseyside club.
The 21-year-old centre-back spent the second half of last season on loan at Granada, playing nine games and helping the spanish club secure La Liga survival.
He will now look to gain further first-team experience with a Bordeaux side that demolished Monaco 4-1 on Sunday, and remains one of just two teams with a 100 per cent record from the first two games.
Ilori becomes Bordeaux’s third defensive recruit of the transfer window, after acquiring Nicolas Pallois and Diego Contento.
