West Ham consider Liverpool winger as potential Payet replacement
The former Benfica winger put down a great performance against the Hammers at the week-end and Slaven Bilic is believed to have already made contact with the Reds over a possible summer move of the 23-year-old winger who has been struggling to deliver consistently since swapping Benfica with Liverpool in summer 2014.
​Markovic failed to impress in his first season at the Anfield Road, leaving Liverpool on loan to join Fenerbache (2015/16), Sporting CP (first part of the 2016/17 campaign) and Hull City (from last January).
​According to the British tabloid, West Ham have been asked to pay £ 16 million to secure the player’s services in the summer and with the Hammers still looking for a long-term replacement for Dimitri Payet, Markovic could match West Ham’ standards in terms of quality and would be a much cheaper options than other highly rated wingers around Europe.
