Lazio are reportedly monitoring free agent Wilfried Zaha as they weigh up a move for the experienced Ivorian.
According to Ivorian outlet 225foot, via LaLazioSiamoNoi, the 33-year-old is on the Biancocelesti’s radar, along with UAE side Al-Ain. Neither club has made a concrete approach yet, so the former Crystal Palace winger is free to consider other options.
Zaha has been without a club since his Galatasaray contract expired in the summer.
Lazio eye free agent Zaha amid market fears
Lazio still have two free slots on their Serie A squad list and can register one more free agent outside the transfer windows.
The club are considering acting now amid fears they could face another transfer block in January, with the oversight commission yet to rule on their labour cost figures as of 30 September.
Zaha joined Galatasaray from Palace in 2023 but spent only one season in Istanbul. He then went on loan to Lyon for six months and to MLS side Charlotte FC for a year and a half.
His best years came in the Premier League, where he made 458 appearances and scored 90 goals for Palace, either side of a brief spell at Manchester United that included a loan at Cardiff City.
