Lazio have taken a major step towards securing the signing of Nigerian forward Rafiu Durosinmi from Viktoria Plzen.
Advanced Talks with Durosinmi’s Representatives
The Serie A club’s sporting director, Angelo Fabiani, has reportedly met with the 22-year-old striker’s representatives to discuss a potential transfer.
Lazio are keen to strengthen their attacking options, and Durosinmi has emerged as a promising target.
Despite not being a guaranteed starter for Viktoria Plzen, the Nigerian forward has made a strong impact this season, scoring five goals in just nine appearances.
His blend of height, mobility, versatility, and dribbling ability makes him an attractive prospect for the Biancocelesti.
Lazio’s Struggles in Attack
Lazio’s interest in Durosinmi comes amid their ongoing search for attacking reinforcements. Manager Marco Baroni has faced difficulties in filling the void left by the injured Taty Castellanos.
Current options, including Tijjani Noslin and Loum Tchaouna, have struggled to provide the necessary firepower, while Senegalese international Boulaye Dia has been deployed in a deeper attacking role.
Durosinmi’s profile could offer Lazio the physical presence and attacking dynamism they currently lack, making him a key target in their efforts to bolster the squad.
