Jan Molby: Serbia’s Milan Jovanovic Would Be An Excellent Signing For Liverpool

Former Liverpool midfielder Jan Molby believes Serbia and Standard Liege forward Milan Jovanovic has all the attributes necessary to be an ‘excellent’ signing for Liverpool.

The Serbian forward, whose contract expires on June 30, is expected to join the Anfield club in the summer, and started Serbia’s opening World Cup 2010 game against Ghana. The match ended in a 1-0 defeat for the Serbs, and the Liverpool bound man was substituted late on for Neven Subotic.

“I did manage to see him and I felt as though he fell into how Serbia played on the day - they were really disappointing and I'd expected a lot more from them,” Molby told Liverpool’s official club website when quizzed about the player.

"I am confident they [Serbia] are better than their display against Ghana and I also know Jovanovic can play.

"He's got real pace and he'll be an excellent signing if we get him.

"I am not worried - there is much more to come from him [in the World Cup]."

Jovanovic, who turned 29 in April, scored five goals for Serbia during the qualification phase for the World Cup 2010 tournament.
