Departing Liverpool whiz Adekanye: I want to play with Immobile at Lazio

Liverpool striker Bobby Adekanye admits he's close to agreeing terms with Lazio.

Adekanye is off contract in June and has declared he will leave Anfield this summer.

He told Corriere dello Sport: "I've been to Rome, I've talked to Lazio and they have very good plans for me. I'm interested in the bid. I have talked to sports director Igli Tare, he thinks I can become a good player and that a move to Lazio can be a good choice for my career.

"(Ciro) Immobile is a fantastic player, if I come to Lazio we can work well together. I can also learn a lot from (Joaquin) Correa, he is another very good player. How close am I to Lazio? 80 percent.

"I still have to make the final decision with my agent and family. Soon you will know."
