Media Watch: Serbian hitman confirms Liverpool contact

15th Jan 2010 - Transfer Gossip  Sport.co.uk

Standard Liege striker Milan Jovanovic has revealed that Liverpool are battling AC Milan for his signature and that another big European club have also made contact.

The 28-year-old forward is out of contract with Les Rouches at the end of the season and is fully expected to move on a free during the summer with Rafael Benitez monitoring the situation.

Voted the Jupiler League's Player of the Year for 2009, Jovanovic played a major role in his side's second consecutive league title last season and has been Standard's stand out player this term, notching 10 goals in 19 appearances.

"News that I have already said yes to AC Milan are not correct," Jovanovic is reported to have said this week. "I am still waiting, I haven't decided.

"Also because AC Milan are not the only club interested in me. There is also Liverpool and another big European club.

"I repeat - my options are still very open."

Liverpool have been linked with a number of possible attacking recruits in recent weeks and with news of Fernando Torres' latest injury setback it is expected that Rafael Benitez will act quickly to secure back-up.

Bordeaux's Marouane Chamakh is another possible target, while former Liverpool forward Emile Heskey has also been touted as a short-term option for the Anfield outfit.
