Serbian winger Lazar Markovic does not feature in Jurgen Klopp’s plans and will be allowed to leave on the permanent basis this summer.

The Serb international was loaned out to Fenerbahce and Sporting before returning to the Premier League for another loan spell at Hull City under the guidance of Marco Silva. And with Silva now being appointed new Watford boss, Lazar Markovic is tipped to be reunited with the manager who gave him a shot back in the Premier League.

Romelu Lukaku is excited by the new project under Ronald Koeman at Everton and could shun a return to Chelsea to stay at Goodison Park, according to his agent Mino Raiola.
The Belgium international has reached double figures in all three of his seasons at Everton since departing Stamford Bridge in 2013, the striker netting his best return of 18 league goals last term.
His lethal touch in front of goal has sparked reports of a return to Chelsea two years after his exit – his first campaign at Everton was on loan – but Raiola is not convinced the 23-year-old is keen on the switch.
Everton don t need money anymore, he told Sportwereld. Romelu wants to play for a club that can win trophies.
Something s changed at Everton: there s a new project. If he le…
Danny Ings was a Liverpool player for three years, during which he had a very tough time with injuries. In 2018 he joined Southampton on a 12-month loan which was made permanent last summer. At the moment, only Jamie Vardy of Leicester City and Sergio Aguero of Manchester City have scored more goals than the 27-year-old former Burnley striker this season, and Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp couldn t be happier about the form Ings is on.
He says everyone at the club celebrate his goals still, but it would obviously be different today (Saturday) when the Saints come to Anfield.

Jurgen Klopp does not know how the protocol around concussions in football can be improved, but he is sure temporary substitutions are not the answer.
The issue of head injuries has come to prominence again in the past week, most notably after Aston Villa goalkeeper Emiliano Martinez initially played on in the 4-0 defeat to Newcastle United having collided with Tyrone Mings knee.

The transfer, which was announced on Monday, comes just a day after Keylor Navas left Levante to join the European champions on a six-year deal for an undisclosed fee.
