Liverpool winger Lazar Markovic could be heading to Watford to be reunited with coach Marco Silva.

Markovic enjoyed a successful loan spell at Hull City during the second half of last season, where Silva was able to reignite some of the form that once made the Serbian a £20 million player.

Liverpool still hope to get back most of that outlay for the winger, who is surplus to requirements on Merseyside.

Now Silva has taken over at Vicarage Road, Watford have expressed their interest in the 23-year-old. The Hornets meet Liverpool in the opening game of next season.

However, they are not alone in the pursuit of Markovic as Zenit St Petersburg are also tracking the former Benfica winger. Liverpool have also been contacted by several clubs in Portugal and Italy.
