Lazio are reportedly pushing to sign Vis Pesaro talent Ahmed Sanogo, who has impressed in the lower divisions.
The 17-year-old Italian forward joined the Serie C outfit in January of this year in a deal worth around €50,000 from Serie D side Fanfulla. He impressed at the amateur level, scoring one goal and providing one assist for the first team in 23 appearances.
