Lazio line up Klose replacement

Lazio are looking at a number of high-profile strikers as they continue the search for a successor to veteran forward Miroslav Klose.

With the German in the final year of his contract and unlikely to stay at Stadio Olimpico beyond next summer, the Biancocelesti are actively searching for his replacement.

And Il Corriere dello Sport claims there are currently five high-quality strikers on their hit-list.

Nantes hotshot Filip Djordjevic appears to be the first name on the list, not only because of his attacking qualities, but also due to the fact his deal with the Canaries is due to expire at the end of the campaign.

Meanwhile, Lazio are keeping close tabs on Gremio star Hernan Barcos, who has a contract until June 2016 and should be available for €4 million.

The Biancocelesti are also being linked with Graziano Pelle, Fabio Quagliarella and Fredy Montero, and they are expected to make concrete moves in the coming weeks.
