Finally, a chance to end his misery

Nicolai Jorgensen interested in a move to Newcastle United

Feyenoord's Nicolai Jorgensen is interested in a move to Tyneside where he can lead the line for Newcastle United. The Chronicle has claimed that the Magpies submitted a £14 million bid for the striker last week which was rejected by the Dutch club.

Feyenoord reportedly want £20 million, with Newcastle ready to pay the required amount, which will make the 27-year-old one of the Premier League side's most expensive transfer of all time.

FC Lokomotiv Moscow eyeing Lazar Markovic

The frozen out Liverpool winger may have finally found a way out of his misery with the Mirror reporting that Lokomotiv Moscow are looking to take him on board.

Markovic last played for Liverpool in May 2015 and spent the last season on loan at Hull City. Jurgen Klopp is ready to let him go on a permanent basis, but Moscow are said to be interested only in a loan spell.
