Striker Keita Balde Diao reportedly hands in transfer-request in Italy

Liverpool and Arsenal have been alerted to the news that Lazio striker Keita Balde Diao has handed in a transfer request at the club.

Both Premier League clubs have reportedly been hot on the heels of striker this summer, and it’s thought that an offer of ÂŁ10.6million would be sufficient enough to get Lazio to listen.

And the Barcelona academy product appears ready to force through a move after reacting angrily to being dropped for Lazio’s Italian Super Cup clash with Juventus last weekend, Football Italia quote Corriere dello Sport as reporting.

Lazio lost the game 2-0 in Shanghai, which saw Mario Mandzukic and Paulo Dybala bags the goals. And Keita didn’t even get a run out, with Gazzetta claiming manager Stefano Pioli is happy to see him leave this summer.

Arsenal are chasing the forward having only made 1 signing this summer in goalkeeper Petr Cech, while Liverpool will be looking for a new striker with Fabio Borini looking to be on the way out, and with their hopes of offloading Mario Balotelli at some point still there.
