Lazio have lined up Chelsea winger Callum Hudson-Odoi as an alternative to Eintracht Frankfurt’s Filip Kostic.
As reported by Italian newspaper Il Messaggero (via LazioNews24) earlier today, the Biancocelesti are working on providing new coach Maurizio Sarri with a winger suitable to his 4-3-3 formation, and have already identified the 28-year-old Kostic as one of their top options.

Chelsea would be willing to send the 20-year-old Englishman away on loan, making a deal much more accessible for the Biancocelesti.
