Lazio striker Tijjani Noslin is reportedly wanted in the United Arab Emirates, where the transfer market remains active.

The Biancocelesti have revamped their attacking ranks this summer by sending Boulaye Dia and Petar Ratkov to Stade Rennais and Levante, respectively, on loan with an obligation to buy, while Gabriele Artistico joined Padova.

These players were replaced by Andrea Pinamonti, who completed a permanent transfer from Sassuolo, and Albert Gudmundsson, who signed on loan with an option to buy from Fiorentina. Moreover, the club directors are discussing whether they should make an offer for Mauro Icardi, who is reportedly keen to join.

According to Il Tempo (via La Lazio Siamo Noi), the Italian capital side has received an offer from the UAE for Noslin, without specifying the club. The market will remain open in the Middle Eastern nation until September 28.

The Italian newspaper, however, insists that Lazio are determined to keep the Dutchman, as they want to make sure Gennaro Gattuso has enough attacking options to navigate through the campaign. The versatile forward could have an important role to play this season, especially in the absence of a second left winger to support Mattia Zaccagni and a natural backup striker for Pinamonti.

On Saturday, Noslin was entrusted with leading the line in the 2-2 draw against AC Milan. His tenacity and bravery were rewarded with a goal, as the ball bounced off his face and into the goal when Koni De Winter was attempting a clearance.

After the game, the former Hellas Verona man revealed he’s enjoying his time under Gattuso after a ‘complicated’ campaign under Maurizio Sarri. His contract with Lazio is valid until the summer of 2029.
