Lazio are still looking for strikers and the latest on their radar is believed to be FC Basel star Zeki Amdouni.
According to Sportitalia, the 22-year-old Switzerland international has impressed their scouts for his tactical versatility.
More than a pure centre-forward, he can also play as a support striker or on the left side of a trident in Maurizio Sarri’s 4-3-3 formation.
He has five goals in just five senior caps for Switzerland and helped FC Basel to the Europa Conference League semi-finals, scoring seven goals in 11 games, including two against Fiorentina.
Sportitalia transfer expert Alfredo Pedulla maintains a deal could be done for circa €12m, rather less than Santos are asking for Marcos Leonardo.
Another candidate for the role of forward would be Dnipro centre-forward Artem Dovbyk, who has also been linked with Torino and Salernitana.
Lazio are in the Champions League this term and need to bolster their strength in depth, as Ciro Immobile is the only real centre-forward in the squad.
