Arsenal to sanction Jack Wilshere’s sale, Lucas Leiva to join Lazio

Liverpool and Arsenal are set to allow two of their long-serving players, Lucas Leiva and Jack Wilshere respectively, leave the club this summer.

The report from the Guardian claims Lazio, who are managed Simone Inzaghi, have made a £5m bid in signing the Brazilian in the summer transfer window. The 30-year-old made a switch to the Merseyside club from Gremio in 2007 and he is edging closer towards ending his 10-year spell at Anfield after Liverpool are likely to accept the Serie A outfit’s bid.

Lucas was included in the Reds’ pre-season win over Tranmere Rovers earlier this week.
