Liverpool pushing to close Markovic signing

Benfica winger Lazar Markovic's move to Liverpool remains on.

Reds boss Brendan Rodgers is poised to tie up the signing of Markovic within days, says the Mirror.

Markovic is set to fly to Merseyside over the next 24 hours for a medical before joining from the Portuguese club for a fee of £20m.

The 20-year-old Serbia international scored 12 times in 49 appearances last season.

He will join Adam Lallana, Rickie Lambert and Emre Can, who have all been brought in as Rodgers builds a squad capable of challenging in both the Champions League and Premier League.
