Lazio Interested In Signing Arsenal Winger Alex Iwobi Italian Serie A club, Lazio are understandably working around the clock to try to price away Super Eagles youngster, Alex Iwobi from Arsenal.

According to Italian news outlet, ilmessaggero.it  Lazio have lined up a move for the 22-year old alongside his Gunners teammate, Lucas Perez while also considering options in Sevilla's Joaquin Correa and Atletico Madrid's Angel Correa.

The report has suggested that Lazio will want to recruit the Nigerian in view of using him as a direct replacement for Felipe Anderson who left Stadio Olimpico this summer to join Premier League club, West Ham for a club record transfer fee of £36 million.

Iwobi, who represented Nigeria at this summer's World Cup fiesta will jet off with his club to Singapore where they will continue their pre-season campaign after he was named in the 25-man traveling squad.

It is understood Arsenal will demand a sum close to €25 million for the talented winger if they are willing to sell him at all.

The Hale End Academy product has been with Arsenal since he was aged eight, rising through the club's youth ranks before making his professional debut against Sheffield Wednesday in a League Cup game in 2015.
