Liverpool’s Ilori Joins Granada on Loan.

Liverpool defender Tiago Ilori has joined Spanish side Granada on loan for the rest of the season.

The 20-year-old Nigerian-born defender, who told Liverpool’s official website on completion of a £6.7m deal in September “I want to play as much as possible and we’ll see what the future holds,” has been down the pecking order at the Anfield outfit, since joining from Sporting Lisbon.

Coach Brendan Rodgers has prefered Mamadou Sakho, who joined the club the same time as Ilori, Kolo Toure, Martin Skrtel and Daniel Agger ahead of Ilori.

He will now look to gain more experience at the La Liga club until summer.
