Aly Cissokho could be allowed to leave Olympique Lyonnais in January.

Cissokho, who has been the side's starting left-back since his arrival in 2009, is believed to be the club's first victim of cost-cutting measures introduced at the end of last season at the Stade de Gerland

Club president Jean-Michael Aulas is understood to be expecting at least £6m in return for the Frenchman, who has been linked with Premier League clubs Liverpool, Newcastle and Chelsea.

Meanwhile, according to Le Progres, there is mounting interest within the Russian league in Cissokho's signature.
