Southampton defender Dejan Lovren has launched a scathing attack on his current club, revealing he already has his heart set on a move to Liverpool.

The 25-year-old, who scored the winner in the Saints’ victory at Anfield last season, has been the subject of bid from the Merseyside club.

But Lovren claims he has been left in the dark over transfer discussions and no longer sees a future at St. Mary’s.

"Liverpool sent the offer and the club haven't informed me," he stold Sportske Novosti in Croatia.

"Not even about the subsequent Liverpool bids. That wasn't right. I found out about the bid from other people which disappointed me and I realised I've got no business staying at Southampton.

"Frankly, my head is already at Liverpool."

Lovren made 31 Premier League starts for Southampton, scoring twice last season, and admits he would have happily stayed on the south coast if the club had shown more ambition in the transfer market.

England stars Rickie Lambert, Adam Lallana and Luke Shaw have all sealed moves away from the club in recent weeks, while there have been no new arrivals.

"Look, I'd gladly stay in Southampton if the club had any ambitions,” Lovren added

“If they kept the key players. [If that had happened] not even the Liverpool bid would have dissuaded me.”
