Serie A club Lazio are ready to provide Chelsea outcast Papy Djilobodji an escape route from Stamford Bridge, according to Italian news outlet Calciomercato.

The 26-year-old signed at Stamford Bridge from Ligue 1 club Nantes on transfer deadline day but has failed to make any league appearances for the Blues.

The report claims that Lazio are interested in a loan move for Djilobodji in the January transfer window, and the Senegal international would also welcome the opportunity to leave Stamford Bridge temporarily, before potentially departing on a permanent basis next summer.
