New £20m signing Lazar Markovic inspired by Chelsea legend Gianfranco Zola
One of the many new arrivals at Anfield this summer was 20-year-old attacking midfielder Markovic, who joined from Benfica.
The Serbian has revealed that he has dreamed of playing Premier League football ever since watching Zola strut his stuff for the Blues.
“I was a fan of Chelsea as a child because I liked Zola, the way he played and everything about him,” Markovic was quoted by the Mirror.
