Fulham signed winger Lazar Markovic from Liverpool in a late move as the January transfer window closed.
The 24-year-old Serbian signed on a short-term deal until the end of the season after being released by the Premier League leaders.
Markovic failed to make an impression at Anfield after joining Liverpool from Benfica in 2014 and has had loans at Fenerbahce, Sporting Lisbon, Hull and Anderlecht in recent seasons.
But Fulham says it “received very good recommendations” from its Serbian striker Aleksandar Mitrovic.
The west London club is next-from-last in the Premier League, six points from safety.

Michy Batshuayi’s latest loan from Chelsea is a little closer to home in London.
After spending the first half of the season in Spain at Valencia, the Belgium striker will complete the campaign in south London at Crystal Palace.
Palace Chairman Steve Parish says “Michy is a player we’ve long admired, and I’m delighted that we’ve finally managed to get him in a red and blue shirt. He will be a magnificent addition to our squad.”
Palace is only four points above the relegation zone.
Batshuayi scored the goal that clinched Chelsea the title in May 2017 at the end of his first season, but he couldn’t establish a regular place in the team. He spent the first half of 2018 on loan in Germany at Borussia Dortmund.

Leicester is 11th in the Premier League.
Monaco is hoping Silva’s arrival strengthens its midfield, with vice president Vadim Vasilyev saying the Portuguese’s “state of mind and his game intelligence will help the team to achieve our goal.”

American defender Andrew Gutman, winner of the Hermann Trophy as the top men’s college soccer player last year, has signed with Scotland’s Celtic and been loaned to Nashville of the second-tier United Soccer League Championship for the 2019 season.
Celtic said Thursday it had agreed to 3½-year contracts with Gutman, a 22-year-old who was a senior at Indiana, and Manny Perez, a 19-year-old right back who was a sophomore at North Carolina State.
Gutman was a member of the Chicago Fire’s youth academy and trained with Rangers, Celtic’s Glasgow rival.
Perez played for the U.S. at last year’s CONCACAF Under-20 Championship. Celtic says Perez also will be loaned to a club in the U.S.

Borussia Dortmund’s Japan international Shinji Kagawa has turned down Bundesliga rival Hannover and instead joined Turkish side Besiktas on loan.
Dortmund says Kagawa requested the move. The 29-year-old midfielder had only made two league appearances this season and did not feature prominently in coach Lucien Favre’s plans.
Dortmund sporting director Michael Zorc says “Shinji is not only an outstanding football player, but also a great friend of the club. We couldn’t refuse his request.”
Kagawa was a key player in Dortmund’s Bundesliga title wins in 2011 and 2012 following his move from Cerezo Osaka in 2010. He helped Dortmund achieve the double in 2012, scoring the first goal in the side’s 5-2 win over Bayern Munich in the German Cup final.
Kagawa, who scored 60 goals and set up 55 more in 216 appearances for Dortmund, joined Manchester United in 2012 before returning in 2014, when he said the club was “like a family.”
But his lack of opportunities at Dortmund this season prompted him to look elsewhere.
Zorc says: “We have a lot of understanding for Shinji’s situation and for his desire for more playing time at another club. Shinji sees this opportunity in Istanbul and we’re happy to grant his wish.”

Jochen Sauer, the head of Bayern’s youth academy, says: “We see a lot of potential in Taylor. He is a talented young player, and we look forward to working with him to develop his talent further.”
Booth has represented the United States at both U19 and U17 level.

Augsburg, which is just one point above the Bundesliga’s relegation zone, had a vacancy in defense after letting Austrian defender Martin Hinteregger join Eintracht Frankfurt for the rest of the season earlier on Friday.
