Lazio look to Joel Campbell

By Football Italia staff

After Palermo gave up on Joel Campbell, Lazio are now being linked with the Arsenal and Costa Rica striker.

The Rosanero were in negotiations for some time, but this week formally pulled the plug on their attempts to sign him.

Campbell could still be seen in Serie A this season, as Il Messaggero newspaper claims he is on Lazio’s radar.

The Aquile are in dire need of a new forward after injuries to Filip Djordjevic and Miroslav Klose showed up the lack of strength in depth.

If Keita Balde Diao does push through his transfer request, then Campbell would be an ideal replacement.

The problem is that Arsenal are only prepared to sell on a permanent basis, whereas Palermo and now also Lazio want a loan with option to buy.
