Signing of Lazar Markovic will trigger five-man spending spree
Despite having already acquired Rickie Lambert, Adam Lallana and Emre Can this summer and being on the verge of completing a £20m move for Benfica’s Markovic, spending is set to continue.
The Mirror reports that securing the Serbian will trigger no fewer than five more arrivals, with Swansea City trio Wilfried Bony, Ben Davies and Michel Vorm joined by Southampton’s Lovren and Jay Rodriguez.
Other options include Lille’s £10m striker Divock Origi, Alberto Moreno of Sevilla and QPR forward Loic Remy.
