Arsenal and Liverpool interested in Lazio forward

Premier League giants Arsenal and Liverpool have reportedly had bids rebuffed for Lazio forward Keita Balde Diao, according to an Italian source.

The 19-year-old featured on a regular basis for the Serie A outfit in the previous campaign, but has fallen out-of-favour under manager Stefano Piolo this season.

According to Il Messaggero, the Capital outfit have turned down offers from the Premier League pair to sign the Spanish striker in the winter transfer window.

Arsenal host Manchester United in their next league fixture whilst Liverpool travel to South London to face Crystal Palace.
