Maurizio Sarri has compiled a list of players he would like to work with at Lazio - and top of that list is Chelsea misfit Ruben Loftus-Cheek.
Elseid Hysaj and Nikola Maksimovic are two players on the free transfer list who perfectly know Sarri's tactical schemes from their time together at Napoli, and will be two low-cost purchases to boost squad numbers.
Yet, according to Corriere dello Sport, the first player requested by Sarri for his Lazio regime is Loftus-Cheek, the 25-year-old Chelsea midfielder who has fallen down the pecking order and looked short of confidence in recent years.
