Liverpool has confirmed that Serbian forward Lazar Markovic has joined Hull City on loan until the end of the 2016-17 season.

The 22-year-old moved to Sporting CP on a temporary basis in August but his loan deal with the Portuguese side has been cancelled by mutual consent by all three parties.

The Serbian will now return to the Premier League to join the Tigers on loan for the remainder of the 2016-17 campaign.

Markovic completed a move to Anfield from Benfica in the 2014 and has netted three goals from 34 appearances in all competitions while playing for the Reds.
