Liverpool midfielder Marko Grujic is determined to use his loan spell at Cardiff City to force his way into Jurgen Klopp’s plans for next season.

The 21-year-old Serbian will spend the rest of the current campaign with the Championship high-flyers and he’s relishing the prospect of regular first-team action.

“This is perhaps the breakthrough moment of my career,” Grujic told Mozzartsport.

“I know that I’ve been given a great chance to play for the next six months in a big club. Thanks to Mr Klopp for all he has done for me.

“He has been encouraging me for so many months. I hope to help Cardiff win promotion to the Premier League.”

Grujic, who has only made six appearances for the Reds this season, travelled down to South Wales with agent Zoran Stojadinovic today to complete the formalities of his loan move.

There was interest from a host of Championship clubs but Klopp decided that Cardiff was the best option for him.

Grujic could make his debut for Neil Warnock’s side away to Sheffield Wednesday on Saturday.

Premier League clubs Huddersfield Town and West Ham were also keen but Liverpool wanted to ensure that Grujic would be a regular starter rather than simply a squad player.
