Krasic won't be following Jovanovic to Anfield

Milos Krasic's agent has insisted that the CSKA Moscow striker will not be joining fellow Serb Milan Jovanovic at Liverpool next season.

Reports from Russia had claimed that Krasic would be arriving at Anfield in a £12million deal after Rafa Benitez wrapped up a deal for Standard Liege forward Jovanovic, who has agreed a three-year deal.

However, agent Dejan Joksimovic has denied that such a deal has been concluded, saying: 'I was in Liverpool to sort out a transfer, but not for Krasic, for Milan Jovanovic.

"Journalists decided that if Jovanovic was moving to Rafael Benitez's team, then why not Krasic too? It's an excellent theme for an article, and sure to be well-read!'

"Krasic is not signing for Liverpool, and hasn't even held talks with them. Everything is just rumour so far."
