Liverpool have boosted their defensive options with the signings of Mamadou Sakho from Paris St Germain and Tiago Ilori from Sporting Lisbon, the Premier League club confirmed on Monday.
.
23-year-old Sakho is a France international, having played 14 times for his country since making his debut against England in 2010, while 20-year-old Ilori has played for Portugal at age-group level.
.
The pair have lifted the number of defenders signed by Brendan Rodgers during the transfer window to four, although Kolo Toure and Aly Cissokho missed Sunday's 1-0 win over Manchester United through injury.
.
Uruguayan centre-back Sebastian Coates has already been ruled out for most of the season with a knee injury.
