Fulham have completed the signing of Liverpool winger Lazar Markovic for a bargain figure on deadline day, which sees Liverpool suffer an enormous loss on the wide man.

The Cottagers pushed through a last-minute move for the Serbia international, who cost the Reds a whopping £20million according to BBC Sport back in the summer of 2014 from Benfica.

He was supposedly one of the best young wingers in Europe after starring in Portugal for Benfica, scoring seven goals and creating five assists in 49 league and cup appearances.

He joined Liverpool for the enormous eight-figure fee, but it simply was not to be. He managed just 34 senior appearances for the Reds, and joined Hull City, Sporting Lisbon and Anderlecht on loan.

Now, Sky Sports’ Transfer Centre (Friday, 07:03am) have claimed that Liverpool have suffered a huge loss on the winger, after selling him to Fulham for a knockdown price of just £1.7million in the final minutes of deadline day.

Markovic has finally left the club after five years of failing to make an impact, but he could now show Liverpool what they paid £20million for five years ago with regular game time at Craven Cottage.
