Lazio have added Fabiano Parisi to the list of possible options in their search for a new left back.

As reported by Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport (via LazioNews24) earlier today, coach Maurizio Sarri was incredibly impressed with the 21-year-old Italian’s performance in the 3-3 draw against the Biancocelesti on Thursday, even if he went off injured after just 30 minutes.

Lazio are interested in the 21-year-old Parisi, as coach Sarri has specifically requested a new left back in this month’s transfer window.

Other options include Hellas Verona’s Nicolò Casale and Lille’s Reinildo Mandava, whilst the idea of signing Layvin Kurzawa has dropped off.

Sarri’s dream choice is still Chelsea’s Emerson Palmieri, but the Italian-Brazilian cannot be signed until the summer transfer window and Lazio need a left back now.

The 21-year-old Parisi has made 11 appearances so far this season for Empoli, for a total of 570 minutes. In that time, he has provided one assist.
