The Lazio forward has failed to settle in Rome since his arrival from Fenerbahce last year and seems destined to leave the club over the next 12 months.

The 27-year-old Kosovan forward, who is contracted to Lazio until 2025, has made eight appearances across all competitions so far this season under coach Maurizio Sarri, for a total of 198 minutes. In that time, he has only provided one assist, failing to find the back of the net even once.
