Lazio close in on young Liverpool talent

Accrding to 'Il Corriere dello Sport', Lazio want Bobby Adekanye, a young, promising talent at Liverpool, not even 20 years old.

The Dutchman is one step away from moving to Italy after the 'biancocelesti' have offered him a three or four year contract.

The move would take place at the end of his current contract with the Reds and at zero cost, even though Lazio denied the rumours after 'Daily Mail' published the possible transfer in January.

Neil Jones, a well-known journalist, has confirmed on Twitter than Adekanye is very close to reaching an agreement with the Italian side after falling short of expectations on Merseyside.

The possible reasoning behind this is that Adekanye has to compete with Rhian Brewster, Bobby Duncan and Paul Glatzel.
