Lazio winger Keita Balde Diao’s transfer request has reportedly alerted several Serie A clubs, with Inter believed to be favourites for his signature.
The Biancocelesti were left stunned yesterday when the hot prospect demanded a move after becoming fed up of warming the Lazio bench behind Felipe Anderson and Antonio Candreva.
It was reported on Sunday that Premier League giants Liverpool and Arsenal are tracking the 20-year-old, who is valued at €15m.
However, the Italian press has today linked the Spaniard to several Serie A sides and Gazzetta dello Sport believe that Inter are the closest to a deal.
The Nerazzurri are on the hunt for a wide attacker, but could face competition from the likes of Juventus, Fiorentina and Torino according to Tuttosport.
Keita was limited to six league starts last season thanks to the emergence of Anderson, and the arrival of Ricardo Kishna from Ajax this summer could further decrease his opportunities in Rome.
