Lazar Markovic’s Liverpool nightmare has been ended with a move to Fulham.
Markovic made his last Reds appearance in 2015 and embarked on a succession of loan spells with Fenerbahce, Sporting Lisbon, Hull City and Anderlecht.
The Serbia international, 24, remained surplus to requirement under Jurgen Klopp this season as his existing Anfield contract ticked down into his final months.
But Fulham offered Markovic a permanent escape from his four-and-a-half year spell on Merseyside with a late move on January transfer deadline day.
Although Liverpool did not secure a transfer fee, the relegation-threatened Cottagers have agreed to match the out-of-favour winger’s current salary.
Fulham vice chairman 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.”
Markovic made just 34 appearances since securing a £20 million move from Benfica in summer 2014 and scored three goals during that time.
