Liverpool winger Lazar Markovic most likely to join Watford before Thursday’s transfer deadline.
Serbian winger Lazar Markovic is surplus to requirement at Liverpool, and he could be set for his fourth loan move in three seasons before Thursday’s deadline.
Since joining the Reds in 2014/15 from Benfica, Markovic has made just 34 appearances for the club, scoring three goals.
After that he spent loan spells with Fenerbahce, Sporting CP and Hull City. He showed a lot of promise under Marco Silva, who now wants to bring him to Watford within this week.

Jurgen Klopp admitted towards the end of July that Markovic is not in his first team plans. His contract runs till 2019, but without any concrete offer on the table, Liverpool may have to sanction another loan move for the winger.
