Report: Liverpool sign Milan Jovanovic
Liverpool have secured the signing of Standard Liege striker Milan Jovanovic on a pre-contract deal, according to The Guardian.
The Reds have been tracking the Serbia international, who was also wanted by AC Milan, for quite some time.
The 28-year-old will sign a three-year contract reportedly worth £10million.
Intially, Jovanovic had reservations about joining Liverpool as a back-up to Fernando Torres but he was convinced that he will be given a fair chance to be in the first-team next season.
Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez had wanted to bring in more attacking options during the transfer window but he only managed to bring in Maxi Rodriguez from Atletico Madrid.
This deal to bring in Jovanovic will help to strengthen the striking department and also prove that Benitez's long-term future lies at Anfield.
