5 players Liverpool should sell in January

#4 Lazar Markovic

Markovic has become an expert bench-warmer since joining Liverpool.

I had included Lazar Markovic in my previous list of players Liverpool should sell back in the summer, and was very surprised to see that he'd somehow managed to keep his place.

Markovic appeared in 19 matches for Liverpool in his first season back in 2014/2015. But he hasn't made a single appearance for the club since that time. So why is he still there?

The Serbian spent a season on loan with Hull City in the 2016/17 campaign, where he made 12 appearances, and scored twice, showing what he's capable of when given an opportunity. But that spark soon faded upon his return to Anfield, where he's resumed his position either on the bench or deep in the reserves, playing for the U23s.

Klopp sees the 24-year-old as surplus to requirements, so Liverpool will surely try and offload him in January.

Where might Lazar Markovic go?

Despite some interest from abroad, no bids materialised for Markovic in the summer. It's unlikely that anything will spring up for him in January, either, but with the Reds so anxious to get rid of him, they might take a very low price just to see the back of him.

Markovic would be ideal for a Championship club, as he proved his strength at that level during his brief spell with Hull City a couple of years ago. But he is yet to be firmly linked with any side, as of yet.
