Swansea City can land Lazar Markovic on loan after reaching agreement with Liverpool - with the decision to push ahead with the deal now down to the Liberty club.

German outfit Wolfsburg were also in the hunt for the Serbia midfielder and were keen on the permanent deal that Liverpool wanted for the Serb.

Swansea only ever wanted to sign Markovic on loan and with Wolfsburg unwilling to get close to Liverpool’s £15m valuation, Swansea are in position to complete a deal until the end of the season.

But, with the Swans keen to first wrap up the record move for Andre Ayew - thought to be worth £18m - the club are yet to decide whether to press ahead with the loan switch.

Swansea are also in talks with Leicester’s Wales midfielder Andy King with a good possibility a loan move for the Euro 2016 ace can be agreed.

The decision could then come down to boss Carlos Carvalhal with Premier League clubs only permitted two domestic loans at any one time. Swansea already have Tammy Abrahams on a season-long loan from Chelsea.

The temporary stay of Renato Sanches from Bayern Munich does not count towards the quota.
