Livid Cissokho shows his teeth

Porto left-back disgusted with AC Milan’s behaviour

In the wake of his aborted transfer to AC Milan, Aly Cissokho has lashed out at the way he was treated by the Italian giants. The FC Porto left-back is convinced the supposed medical problem with his teeth was pure invention and the real problem preventing the deal from going through was money.

“I’m fine and I don’t have any problem with my teeth, which are perfect as they have always been. I’ve never had problems such as these, and never had any muscular injury,” said Cissokho, responding to the Italians’ claim that his defective teeth could lead to muscle strains.  

“I don’t know why Milan said those things but I don’t like it. I only found out some time after the medical tests had been done. I was ten days in Senegal and when I returned from holiday they said there was a problem.

“I did two tests, one for AC Milan and another for the Italian Federation, and everyone told me everything was in order. This question of my teeth is nothing more than an excuse to cancel the transfer.

“I’m fed up with the situation. One minute I here I’m going to Milan, the next minute I hear that after all I’ll be staying at FC Porto, then I hear I’ll be going to another club.

“I want a definitive answer. The real problem here is money and not my teeth.”
