Lazio target Southampton's Gaston Ramirez

Southampton attacker Gaston Ramirez is reportedly a top target for Serie A side Lazio.

The 24-year-old has made just 24 Premier League starts for the Saints ever since his £12m move from Bologna in 2012.

Ramirez spent the previous campaign on loan at Hull City, but he was largely unsuccessful as he netted just once in 22 games.

According to The Mirror, Lazio are eyeing up a winter move for the Uruguay international whose contract expires at the end of the season.

It is added that the Saints are ready to agree a bargain price for Ramirez, who has had an injury plagued career at the South Coast.

Ramirez has made a solitary league appearance since September.
