Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur 'monitoring Lazio defender Adam Marusic'

Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool are keeping close tabs on Lazio defender Adam Marusic, according to a report.

The 26-year-old, who operates mainly as a right wing-back, has been tipped to leave the Stadio Olimpico in 2019 after spending two-and-a-half years with the Biancocelesti.

Marusic's impressive displays for Lazio have not gone unnoticed, as Calciomercato suggests that Spurs and Liverpool are weighing up whether to make a mid-season move.

Borussia Dortmund have also been credited with an interest in the Montenegro international, who is under contract with Lazio until 2022.

The Italian side are under no pressure to sell their key assets, though, and it is claimed that only a big offer will tempt them to cash in.
