The Standard Liege striker is out of contract at the end of the
season but promised a decision on his future by the end of the
winter transfer window.
We believe that, barring any last-minute hitches, the Serbian
forward will sign a three-year contract with the Reds, with the
option of a fourth season at Anfield.
The signing of Jovanovic represents a rare piece of good news
for Rafa Benitez this season, with the Spaniard beating off fierce
competition from Milan to sign the 28-year-old.
Alex McLeish's Birmingham were also interested but Jovanovic
made it clear he wished to join a more established club than the
newly-promoted Blues.
A versatile attacker, Jovanovic would bolster the options
available to Benitez.
The forward could take up a position on the left side of
Liverpool's attack, with Ryan Babel seemingly certain to leave and
a question mark still hanging over Albert Riera.
Jovanovic promised to see out his contract in Liege but is
expected to reveal his destination in the next few days.
