Portugal youth international Tiago Ilori who has Nigerian blood flowing in his veins has agreed to join Bordeaux on a season - long loan, the official website of Liverpool reported on Monday.

This would be the 21 - year - old defender’s second spell away from Anfield , having spent a portion of last season on at Granada.

Tiago Ilori penned a multi - year contract with Liverpool last summer but has failed to suit up for the English Premier League vice - champions.

He is also eligible to represent the national teams of Nigeria and England despite having caps for the youth teams of Portugal.

The highly rated starlet has defended the colours of Sporting Lisbon and Imortal in the past.
