Liverpool beat Man City in race to sign Serbian star

Serbian striker Milan Jovanovic has agreed to join Liverpool this summer.
Jovanovic's agent Zoran Stojadinovic says the Standard Liege star has snubbed Valencia in favour of Liverpool.
Jovanovic will be a free agent this summer and attracted interest from Manchester City and Birmingham but Liverpool appear to have won the race after offering him a £40,000-a-week contract.
The Serbian international, who will represent his country at this summer's World Cup, was won over by Liverpool boss Rafa Benitez.
Stojadinovic said: "We have spoken with Rafa Benitez and he convinced us about his project for the club.
"Milan speaks the language and adaptation will not be a problem for him when he moves to England."
