Liverpool may well have completed their first signing of the Jurgen Klopp era if reports in Serbia are to be believed.

The Reds have been linked with central midfielder Marko Grujic in recent weeks and reports in his native Serbia have already said the deal is done.

The article, from Telegraf, reads: 'Marko Grujic has agreed all terms with Liverpool and the move should soon be formalised of his transfer to Anfield. The euphoria among supporters of red has already begun due to the arrival of one of the most talented players in Europe.'

That seems a little over the top, given Grujic is a relative unknown on these shores.

The Crvena Zvezda teenager, 19, was a key performer for Serbia as the nation surprised Brazil to win the Under-20 World Cup in New Zealand in June.

Grujic appeared to add more fuel to the likelihood of him moving to Liverpool by sharing the news report on his official Facebook page (above).

Liverpool have been linked with numerous players over the last couple of weeks, with Klopp expected to make changes to the lopsided squad he inherited from Brendan Rodgers.
