Lazio have been given a slight boost in their chase of Wilfried Zaha, who recently turned down two rich offers from Saudi Arabia.

The 30-year-old Ivorian winger is currently a free agent after his contract with Crystal Place expired last week, making him available on a free transfer.

Zaha is currently taking the time to fully evaluate his future plans; he has reportedly agreed personal terms with a number of clubs, including Lazio, Crystal Palace and Fenerbahce.

As revealed by Alfredo Pedulla, Zaha has decided to turn down two offers from Saudi Arabian clubs, both worth around €15 million net per season plus add-ons.

A report from Jacque Talbot of FootballTransfers earlier this week suggested that the Ivorian winger was leaning towards a move to Lazio, keen on the idea of playing Champions League football.

The same report also suggested that former Juventus and Tottenham sporting director Fabio Paratici was playing a role in the talks with the Biancocelesti.
