Fulham have completed another deadline day signing, bringing in Liverpool winger Lazar Markovic on a permanent transfer.

The Serbian joins the Cottagers on a free transfer, signing a deal until the end of the season.

Markovic, whose last Liverpool appearance came in May 2015, arrives at the club on the recommendation of Aleksandar Mitrovic, his former Partizan Belgrade teammate.

Tony Khan said: “Lazar Markovic is a gifted young player; we’re pleased to welcome him from Liverpool for the remainder of the season.

"Lazar is known as a great teammate, he has the support of our Manager, and he has the talent to strengthen our attack. Come on Fulham!”

Fulham have already added one former Liverpool wideman to their squad this January in Ryan Babel, who arrived at the club from Besiktas.

Havard Nordtveit also arrived in west London on deadline day, joining from Hoffenheim on loan until the end of the season.

Stefan Johansen meanwhile has left the club to join West Brom for the remainder of the campaign, with forward Aboubakar Kamara also moving on, joining Yeni Malatyaspor on a temporary deal.
