Swansea Vindicated After Passing Up on Reds Outcast Lazar Markovic Following Revelation by New Boss

The Serbian attacker has endured a torrid spell since joining the Reds from Benfica in 2014, hardly getting a shout under German boss Jurgen Klopp. He completed his fourth loan move as a Liverpool player on Transfer Deadline Day, signing a loan deal with Belgian outfit Anderlecht, despite strong interest from the Swans.

A move to the Liberty Stadium had actually been agreed upon by Liverpool and Swansea, yet the 23-year-old is now in the Jupiler Pro League, where he will be hoping to resurrect his career ahead of the upcoming World Cup.
