Lazio 'to rival Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur for Dejan Lovren'

Lazio are reportedly ready to battle Premier League duo Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur for the signature of Liverpool defender Dejan Lovren during this summer's transfer window.

Lovren, who will be out of contract at the end of next season, is believed to be the subject of interest from both Arsenal and Tottenham.

However, according to Gazzetta dello Sport, Lazio are also eyeing the Croatia international and could attempt to sign him ahead of the 2020-21 campaign.

The 2018 World Cup finalist has only made nine Premier League appearances for Jurgen Klopp's side during the current season, having fallen down the pecking order at Anfield.

The 30-year-old has featured on 184 occasions for the Merseyside giants since arriving from Southampton in 2014, though, and was a regular before the start of last season.

Liverpool have allegedly already drawn up a three-man shortlist to replace the defender.
