Matteo Cancellieri has officially chosen the wear the number 11 shirt with Lazio, a sign of his ambition in Rome.
The 20-year-old Italian forward arrived from Hellas Verona last week on a loan deal with a conditional obligation to buy clause attached, and many fans are keen to see the talented youngster in action following his breakout season with the Gialloblu.
As highlighted by LazioNews24, Cancellieri has decided to wear the number 11 shirt at Lazio, an important number in the club’s history. It was been worn by fan favourites like Giuseppe Signori and Miroslav Klose in the past, giving the 20-year-old some key reference points.
Things have started well for the Italian forward with the Biancocelesti; reports suggest that he’s impressing at the pre-season training camp in Auronzo di Cadore and he could make an immediate impact in Rome in the upcoming season.
Last season, Cancellieri scored two goals and provided one assist in 14 appearances across all competitions.
