According to the latest reports, Lazio are interested in signing Manchester United youngster, Timothy Fosu-Mensah before the January transfer deadline.
The 21-year-old defender is spending the season out on loan with Fulham but has not featured much for the side in recent times. He has made 8 Premier League appearances, 7 of them starts and all recorded under former boss, Slavisa Jokanovic.
Ever since Claudio Ranieri took charge of the Cottagers, the Dutch international has gotten accustomed to simply watching his teammates play from the substitute box. United are not too happy with the lack of Fosu-Mensah’s involvement in Fulham’s regular fixtures and previous reports stated that a callback was being lined up by Ole Solskajer’s camp.
Now, in the dying minutes of the January window, an offer from Lazio could sway the Red Devils into pulling the plug on the 21-year-old’s Craven Cottage stay. Simeone Inzaghi has tried to sign Davide Zappacosta from Chelsea this month to cover the understaffed right-back department.
The Serie A outfit has still not been able to strike a deal with the Blues and might be hedging towards a loan agreement for the United academy product.
With Diogo Dalot and Ashley Young filling in on a regular basis, Solskjaer might not have any immediate need for Fosu-Mensah which could help Lazio crackdown on a last minute trade.
