Lazio consider Derdiyok
Wednesday 27 May, 2009

Lazio are reportedly weighing up the pros and cons of signing Switzerland and Basel striker Eren Derdiyok.

The talented 20-year-old shot to fame last year when he scored on his international debut against England at Wembley.

Derdiyok has been promised to German outfit Bayer Leverkusen, but a deal has yet to be done for his services.

Lazio believe they can hijack negotiations and pick him up on the cheap, according to Il Corriere dello Sport.

Derdiyok's contract expires on June 30, 2010, but his club, Basel, are resigned to losing him this summer.

Lazio aren't exactly short of strikers, what with Goran Pandev, Mauro Zarate and Tommaso Rocchi already on their books.

The move for Derdiyok could indicate that one of those three, most probably Pandev, will leave this summer.
