Mattia Zaccagni has reportedly carried out the medical examinations with Lazio this morning at the Paideia clinic.
The 26-year-old, who scored twice in two games with Hellas Verona so far this season, completed a move to the Biancocelesti on deadline day.
He was at the Paideia clinic this morning to undergo some checks after arriving at Formello eight days ago.
Zaccagni should be ready for Sunday’s match, when Maurizio Sarri’s men travel to San Siro for the third League match against Milan.
The attacking midfielder played 146 competitive games with the Gialloblu, scoring 15 goals and contributing 22 assists in the process.
Zaccagni, who has previous stints with moved to Lazio on loan with an obligation to buy with conditions next summer.
The new signing has been brought in to replace Joaquin Correa, who moved to Inter this summer, and he arrives with experience from the top flight, having already played 81 times in Serie A with Hellas Verona.

Brilliant signing. I am surprised that more clubs didn’t come in for him and that he wasn’t Lazio‘s first choice.
I was hoping Milan would have signed him as Hakan’s replacement. He would have suited Pioli’s system given that he can play in any of the forward positions behind the striker, and also fill in in central midfield if needs be.
If he continues his Verona form for Lazio, he will surely be fighting for Insigne’s – who blows hot and cold – spot in the national team.
Agreed, potentially an incredible signing for Lazio. Very good player, entering his prime on a fee below market value.
He creates chances and gets goals, knows the league and in an expansive style like Lazio’s well get ample chance to shine. Soon to be Azzurri player.
Insigne is pretty untouchable. I would say after the WC Zaccagni could get his chance, unless he scores a lot of goals this seasom or Insigne has a major drop off. Incredible signing for Lazio though, he is an ample replacement for Correa.
