Lazio join Leicester City and Wolves in race to sign Unique Football Academy graduate

Serie A club Lazio are interested in signing Lagos-born forward Rafiu Durosinmi, who is also being monitored by Premier League clubs Leicester City and Wolverhampton Wanderers, according to Radiosei.

The Unique Football Academy, Lagos product has been in fine form for Viktoria Plzeň this season, impressing both domestically and in European competitions.

Since recovering from a major knee injury that ruled him out for the first part of the campaign, the 22-year-old has impressed with five goals and two assists in 12 matches.

His performances have sparked interest from several clubs across Europe, including Lazio reportedly interested in a summer move.

Lazio’s sporting director, Angelo Mariano Fabiani, has reportedly already made contact with Durosinmi’s representatives in an attempt to secure his transfer.

The Biancocelesti are reportedly considering submitting an official bid to Viktoria Plzeň, with the forward currently valued at €4 million, according to Transfermarkt.

Meanwhile, both Leicester and Wolves are also keeping a close watch on the Nigerian striker’s development.

Football Insider earlier reported that both Premier League clubs sent scouts to observe Durosinmi during Viktoria Plzeň’s recent UEFA Europa League clash against Lazio at the Stadio Olimpico.

With his contract set to expire in 2026, Viktoria Plzeň are expected to entertain offers this summer rather than risk losing him on a free transfer at the end of next season. 

With his injury troubles behind him,Durosinmi will be eager to maintain his strong form and bolster his chances of securing a high-profile move to one of Europe’s top leagues.
