The agent of Bobby Adekanye has explained why he's chosen to leave Liverpool.
Lazio have been linked with the striker, who is off contract in June.
Joseph Minguella Junior told Corriere dello Sport, "Adekanye still hasn't decided on his future, but we are close to an agreement. You'll know in the next few weeks.
"They showed interest and a good project for Bobby. Contacts started a bit over a month ago. He's very interested in playing in Italy, very happy about Lazio's interest and the possibility of playing there.
"Bobby decided to not continue at Liverpool because he wants to play somewhere he can grow and show his worth at a high level. Lazio is the perfect place to do it. They have experience with youngsters, they give them a chance, and they know how to get them to a successful level."
