Lazio have joined the race for Arsenal and Chelsea target Hakan Calhanoglu.
The Turkey international, who is a free-kick specialist, looks certain to leave Bayer Leverkusen this summer after three seasons with the club.
Both Arsenal and Chelsea are interested in luring the midfielder to London when the window opens and can do so by triggering his £32.5m release clause.
However, it has been suggested that Leverkusen may be willing to sell him for less than that if the deal is structured correctly.
And, according to Turkish newspaper Aksam, Lazio are now preparing an offer of their own for the 23-year-old.
