Anderlecht Step Up Move For Milan Jovanovic

Our-of-favour Liverpool striker Milan Jovanovic looks to be edging closer towards sealing a move to Belgian giants Anderlecht.

The Serbian forward’s stock in the country is still high after a hugely successful stint with Standard Liege before he made the switch to Anfield, and Jovanovic and his representatives met with Anderlecht president Herman Van Holsbeeck yesterday to discuss personal terms; the talks were a continuation of earlier discussions between the two parties.

Jovanovic has been told that he can leave Liverpool for free after failing to break into the Merseyside club’s starting eleven last season.

The forward, nicknamed "the snake", due to his quick footwork, failed to settle off the pitch in England and also struggled to convince first Roy Hodgson and then his successor in the Anfield dugout, Kenny Dalglish, that he was worthy of an extended run in the team.

Jovanovic soon went on record as lamenting that his decision to join the Reds had been the wrong one; the Serbia international turned down a move to Real Madrid to join the English giants.

While Anderlecht remains in pole position for Jovanovic, the player has announced that four clubs have made concrete offers for his services. Belgium though appeals to the 30-year-old and the Jupiler League holds many fond memories.
