James Horncastle reports: “Bryan Perea, the Colombia Under-20 international striker, has joined Lazio and takes the non-EU spot that, for a time, looked to have Yilmaz’s name on it.
“He will replace Libor Kozak, last year’s top scorer in the Europa League, who appears en route to Aston Villa, but it’s too much to expect him at such a tender age to share the goal scoring burden with Miroslav Klose. So with that in mind Lazio are now expected to challenge Roma in their attempt to prise Fabio Quagliarella away from Juventus, a veritable Derby della Capitale on Transfer Deadline Day.”
West Ham United is also interested in the Juventus man as they look for a second striker to compete with Andy Carroll.
