Lazio Weighing Up Potential Swap Deal for Newcastle Defender Jamaal Lascelles

Newcastle defender Jamaal Lascelles is a defensive target for Lazio and the Serie A club could offer a player of their own in a potential swap deal.

The centre back has been impressive since his move from Nottingham Forest in 2015, becoming club captain in 2016 following the side's promotion to the Premier League.

Last season, Lascelles started 32 Premier League games as Rafael Benitez's side conceded fewer goals than both Arsenal and Manchester United.

According to Il Messaggero via Sport Witness, in order to secure their primary target, Lazio are considering parting ways with left back Jordan Lukaku.
