Liverpool Midfielder On Saints Radar

Saints are said to be after Liverpool's Serbian midfielder Marko Grujic to replace Pierre Emile Hojbjerg, but they have competition from West Ham according to media reports.

Marko Grujic is the forgotten man at Liverpool, signed back in 2016 for £5.1 million, has played only 8 Premier League games for the Red's, the last in 2017/18, spending the second half of that season on loan at Cardiff and has been on loan at Hertha Berlin for the past two season's.

In Germany he was a regular starter and Hertha coach Pal Dardai hailed Grujić as "by far the best midfielder at Hertha Berlin in 20 years"

He is now back at Anfield and played and scored in their League cup win over Lincoln City, but he is way down the pecking order at the club and at 24 he needs regular game time and is set to leave the club.

Saints are said to be interested in signing the 6ft 3 inch central midfielder who has 8 caps for Serbia.

Grujic is one of a number of players Saints are being linked with, but it is hard to work out which are genuine targets and which are just agents trying to put their man in the spotlight.

The Serbian would fit the bill for Saints, but this could either be his agent talking him up, but conversely also an under the radar bid by Saints.
