Report: Liverpool want Keita Blade Diao

Liverpool are reportedly interested in signing Lazio forward Keita Blade Diao.

The 19-year-old came through Barcelona's youth academy before leaving Spain in 2011 for Lazio, where he made his first-team debut in 2013.

However, the attacker, who was born in Spain to Senegalese parents, is said to be unhappy with life in Italy and keen to seek pastures new in 2015.

According to the Daily Mirror, Liverpool will make a move for the teenager when the January window opens, but will face competition from a number of European clubs.

Lazio reportedly value Diao in the region of £15m.
