Arsenal and Chelsea target Keita Balde Diao could be set to leave Lazio having grown frustrated at his lack of playing time, according to reports in Italy.
Calciomercartohave claimed that the winger is unhappy with manager Simone Inzaghi, who has tended topreferFelipe Anderson and Savic Milinkovic in the attacking roles this season
The news is likely to alert both Arsenal and Chelsea who were, according to Senegalese news outletSenepeople,interested in Diao during the January transfer window. Manchester United are also believed to be keen in the player, with manager Jose Mourinho an admirer, while in Italy, AC Milan, Inter and Juventus have all been linked.
Lazio could be willing to sell the player for around £26m, a price that may prove reasonable for the highly rated 21-year old.
Diao's current deal with the club expires in 2018, and he has made 96 appearances since joining from Barcelona as a teenager in 2011.
This season he has scored seven Serie A goals in 21 games, seven of which have been made as a substitute.He also has 12 caps and three goals for Senegal.
Lazio have reportedly attempted to extend Diao's contract, but he is yet to sign a new deal, fuelling more speculation of an impending exit.
