Liverpool FC has signed up Benfica's Lazar Markovic for 20 million pounds.

The 20-year-old helped Benfica win the Portuguese title last season after joining the club from Partizan Belgrade in the summer of 2013, reports the BBC.

Soon after his deal had been finalized, Markovic said that he hoped to fulfill the expectations of Liverpool's supporters, coaches, players and all connected to the club.

The Serbia international becomes the club's fourth signing this summer.
