Lazio, eyes on a Reims striker

Lazio, eyes on 2001 Arsenal-owned class

Lazio will be engaged this evening in the return match of the Conference League round of 16 against Cluj. Extra-field, however, the biancoceleste management is already at work planning the summer market strikes. Lotito’s club, in fact, is sounding out several young and highly prospective profiles to buy while trying to be careful about spending.

Among the players being followed, especially in the offensive phase, would be Folarin Jerry Balogun, an Anglo-American central forward on the strength of Reims, but owned by Arsenal. With the French, the 2001-born forward has made 22 appearances, scoring 16 goals. The price tag is around 15 million euros.

For the biancocelesti it would be a very strategic stroke in perspective, given also Ciro Immobile’s physical problems.
