Lazar Markovic appears set to leave Liverpool on loan for a fourth time, with Swansea City and Wolfsburg reportedly vying for his signature.

The 23-year-old winger spent last season with Sporting and Hull City but failed to secure a permanent move to either club and returned to Anfield in the summer.

Markovic has not made a single appearance for Liverpool this season but could not end his long exile by moving on temporary basis.

According to the Daily Mail, Bundesliga side Wolfsburg, who have took Liverpool’s Divock Origi on loan, will compete with Carlos Carvalhal’s Swansea for Markovic’s signature.

Liverpool may also be willing to let youngster Ovie Ejaria leave on a temporary basis, according to the Liverpool Echo.

Sunderland are interested in taking the 20-year-old midfielder, who has found first-team opportunities limited at Anfield this season through injury.

Fellow U-23s squad member Lloyd Jones is set to leave on a permanent basis according to the Echo. Luton Town are ready to take the 22-year-old centre-back away from Anfield.

Liverpool are, otherwise, not expected to be heavily involved on transfer deadline day.

Jürgen Klopp rubbished speculation suggesting that Danny Ings may be allowed to leave on loan in unorthodox fashion on Tuesday night, after the 3-0 win at Huddersfield Town.

“No chance Ings is on the market,” he insisted. “Only if I'm unconscious.”
