According to a report from Greek media outlet Spor Time, Greek side PAOK are closing in on a deal to sign Liverpool winger Lazar Marković on loan.

The 24-year-old joined the Reds from Benfica in the summer of 2014, for a fee believed to be worth somewhere in the region of £20 million, but he has desperately failed to establish himself at Anfield, making just 11 Premier League starts during his time on Merseyside.

He has spent four separate loan spells away from Anfield at Fenerbahce, Sporting Lisbon, Hull City at Anderlecht respectively, but has failed to impress with any of those clubs.

And now Greek media outlet Spor Time claim that Markovic is on the verge of making his fifth loan move away from Liverpool, this time with PAOK.

As the Serbian reportedly nears another temporary exit from Anfield, there will surely not be too many Liverpool fans who are upset to read the news.
