Milan Jovanovic
Liverpool manager Rafa Benitez has said he is confident that Serbian striker Milan Jovanovic will be joining the Merseyside giants on a free transfer in the summer.
Benitez said after Liverpool’s 1-0 win over Merseyside rivals Everton yesterday: "Nothing is sorted yet, but I'm confident it will be."
Reports last week claimed Liverpool had completed a deal for the Standard Liege striker but there has been no confirmation and the likes of AC Milan, Juventus, Birmingham and Valencia are all still tracking the striker.
It had been claimed that Jovanovic had signed a three-year contract with Liverpool worth around £10million with an option of a further season.
This season Jovanovic has scored 12 goals in 23 appearances and also chipped in with three assists. The Serbian international (23 caps, 10 goals) has now hit double figures for Standard Liege in the past four seasons.
The 6ft striker will provide Liverpool with attacking options as he can also play down the left.
