Liverpool have given Watford the opportunity to sign Lazar Markovic, reports claim.

The Mirror is reporting the Reds are willing to sell the winger, who Hornets boss Marco Silva signed on loan at Hull City last season, for £12million.

The 23-year-old Serbian international has made just 19 league appearances for the Anfield club since joining from Benfica for £20m in 2014, and has also been on loan at Sportin Lisbon and Fenerbahce since.

It is claimed Zenit St Petersburg and Galatasary are also interested in the player, who has been regularly linked with a move to Vicarage Road in recent weeks.

Markovic scored twice in 12 Premier League appearances for Silva’s side last season, including in the Tigers’ 2-0 home victory against the Hornets.
