The future of Keita Balde will reportedly be decided this week amid interest from Tottenham and Juventus.
Lazio forward Keita Balde faces a ‘decisive week’ on his future according to ITA Sport Press.
The 22-year-old Senegal international was left out of Lazio’s Italian Super Cup squad last night as speculation over his future intensified.
Balde is subject of interest from both Juventus and Tottenham Hotspur.
The Mirror report that Tottenham are set to step up their interest in the attacker.
Balde can play on the wing and up front and scored 16 goals for the club last season, including eight in his final six games.
He did feature for Lazio in pre-season but was not called upon for their fixture against Juventus last night, one of the teams chasing his signature.
Lazio got one over on Juventus with a last minute goal which sealed a 3-2 victory.
Juventus have already signed two attackers this summer, Douglas Costa and Federico Bernardeschi.
Their loss to Lazio last night coupled with a 2-0 defeat to Spurs last week could push them to step up their pursuit of Balde.
ITA Sport Press report Juventus are indeed looking to push to clinch a move this week – but The Mirror claim Lazio do not want to sell to them, giving Tottenham a key advantage.
Tottenham should not give up on their pursuit of the talented forward at this crucial stage.
