There are reports Lazio have sealed the deal with Hellas Verona for striker Tijjani Noslin for €15m, who has also been linked with Manchester United and Bologna.

Sky Sport Italia claim the agreement has been reached for €15m and the player will sign a five-year contract, earning roughly €1.5m per season at the Stadio Olimpico.

Noslin made immediate Serie A impact

The Dutch talent turns 25 next week and only made the move to Verona from Fortuna Sittard in January for €3m, but he impressed in his Serie A debut with five goals and four assists in only 17 games.

This kind of form attracted interest from the likes of Manchester United, Fiorentina and Bologna, but Lazio had been the favourites since the start.

That was also helped by the fact they just hired ex-Verona coach Marco Baroni, who worked with Noslin at the Stadio Bentegodi.

Primarily a right-sided winger, Noslin can also play as a centre-forward or on the left flank, giving the club various different options.

It also means Lazio might ease off in their pursuit of Manchester United winger Mason Greenwood.
