Liverpool winger Lazar Markovic closing in on PAOK move?

PAOK have reportedly won the race to secure the loan signing of Liverpool winger Lazar Markovic.

The 24-year-old has not featured in the plans of Jurgen Klopp for some time, and four loan spells have been spent away from Anfield since 2015.

Markovic has scored a total of five goals from 49 appearances for Fenerbahce, Sporting Lisbon, Hull City and Anderlecht, and it now appears that the Serbia international will add another team to that list.

According to SporTime, PAOK have beaten a number of clubs to secure the signing of Markovic on a temporary basis.

The Greek side - who finished in second place in the top flight last season - will feature in this season's Europa League after missing out in the playoff round of the Champions League.
