Lazar Markovic: Hull sign Liverpool forward on loan for rest of season

Lazar Markovic was signed for Liverpool by Brendan Rodgers

Liverpool's Serbia forward Lazar Markovic has joined Hull on loan for the remainder of the season.

The 22-year-old, who signed from Benfica for £20m in 2014, agreed a loan with Sporting Lisbon for this season but it was cancelled by mutual consent.

Markovic made 20 appearances on loan at Fenerbahce last season and played 14 times for Sporting, scoring twice.

Hull manager Marco Silva managed Estoril in Portugal during Markovic's one season with Benfica.
