Il Messaggero claims that Lazio are eyeing Southampton striker Manolo Gabbiadini if they sell Keita Balde Diao.

Keita is refusing to attend training after a contract dispute, the President today accusing him of “extortion” for attempting to force through a transfer to Juventus.

Coach Simone Inzaghi warned they will need a replacement and Il Messaggero newspaper reports the prime target is Gabbiadini.

The 25-year-old Italy international only left Napoli in January for €17m.

Gabbiadini made a very good impression in England, scoring seven goals in 14 competitive games for the Saints.

He was also on target today in their 3-2 Premier League win over West Ham United.
