Premier League duo Liverpool and Chelsea are set to go head-to-head for the signature of Partizan Belgrade starlet Lazar Markovic, according to The People.
Liverpool manager Kenny Dalglish and the clubs director of football Damien Comolli are both said to be huge fans of the Markovic. Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas is also believed to be an admirer of the 17-year-old.
However sources in Serbia suggest that Markovic's representatives have been in Merseyside to discuss a potential deal, which could go through sometime during the January transfer window.
Markovic has been compared to former Liverpool star striker Michael Owen. This is the strikers first full season with Partizan and he has scored six goals in 15 league appearances.
There could be a problem with regards to the players work permit, but the Anfield club could be allowed to bring Markovic to the UK before he wins an international cap as an exceptional talent.
