Livorno grab Dhorasoo

After agreeing a deal for Francesco Tavano and Fausto Rossini, Livorno have also captured ex-Milan midfielder Vikash Dhorasoo.

President Aldo Spinelli had hinted at the next big signing in an interview with ‘La Repubblica’ newspaper this morning.


“A very strong midfielder of great prestige. There are too many vultures circling, so I can only confirm he is a famous French international.”


Now the media in Italy claim that man is Dhorasoo, a former Olympique Lyonnais and Milan player.


Although he featured in the 2006 World Cup for losing Finalists France, Dhorasoo was out of contract after he was sensationally sacked by Paris Saint-Germain in September.


The midfielder was booted out of the club for calling Coach Guy Lacombe “a liar” and has also launched vitriolic attacks on French boss Raymond Domenech.


This would be his return to Serie A after an unsuccessful season at Milan, where he made just 12 appearances in 2004-05.


During his time on the sidelines, Dhorasoo was linked with Bolton, Lyon, Parma and had a trial with Fulham.


Livorno have also reportedly signed Juventus youngster Francesco Volpe on a co-ownership deal after the striker returned from a loan spell at Ravenna.


It has been an exhilarating week for the Amaranto, who also picked up Tavano from Valencia and hitman Rossini from Catania.


“For Tavano we worked in silence and the news only leaked out once everything had already been signed, otherwise he would have been snatched away,” added President Spinelli.


“He is the ideal player to replace Igor Protti and partner Cristiano Lucarelli. We have finally found a Number 10 worthy of Protti.”

You guys remember him (IMG:http://cyrus.medialayer.net/~m1ke/milanfan.com/forums/style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)

He was pretty impressive for PSG too, but he is probably in his mid 30's .. I used to like him, he was a great sub. Never complained, and when he was on the field, he was always full of energy and a great team player.
