Timothy Fosu-Mensah has struggled for Premier League minutes since arriving at Fulham on loan from Manchester United.
Timothy Fosu-Mensah has turned down a move to Lazio despite his lack of opportunities at Fulham, according to Tuttomercatoweb.
The Holland international right-back joined the Cottagers on loan from Manchester United last summer and enjoyed a bright start to life in West London.
But he has played just 34 minutes of Premier League football since Claudio Ranieri replaced Slavisa Jokanovic with the Italian admitting to Sky earlier in January that Fosu-Mensah was not part of his plans going forward.
However, it seems that the 21-year-old is keen to stay and fight for his place with relegation-threatened Fulham.
Tuttomercatoweb reported that Lazio wanted to sign him to end their long-running search for a right-back. But Fosu-Mensah has declined the proposal despite the fact that Lazio are just three points adrift of a Champions League place in the Serie A table.
Whether Fosu-Mensah ends up regretting this decision remains to be seen.
He could be set to fall further down the pecking order with Love Sport Radio claiming that Senegal flyer Youssouf Sabaly is set to arrive at Fulham today from Bordeaux.
