Lazio attacker Keita Balde Diao is being linked with a move to England.

Keita was being chased by Chelsea and Arsenal in January, according to reports.

Senegalese news outlet Senepeople says the Premier League duo were both in the hunt for his services.

The London heavyweights hadn't previously been touted as potential suitors, reports the Daily Star.

Manchester United have been the most heavily linked English club with Jose Mourinho a fan of the Serie A star.

Lazio bigwig Claudio Lotito is said to be willing to sell the youngster but only if someone coughs up £26m.

Diao's current deal in Italy will keep him at the club until June 2018.
