I’m very happy to be here, I’ve arrived in a great group, the role will be the one I played at Verona, I hope to do well.
The former Hellas Verona midfielder then touched on how his arrival at Lazio felt following the transfer.

We’ll see, time will tell, I’ll try to improve myself every day. I’ll put all my good will into it and I think Sarri can make me improve, especially on the offensive end.
