The Lazio ace is reportedly attracting attention from Tottenham Hotspur.
Tottenham boss Mauricio Pochettino has a lot of work to do during the summer transfer window, if he is to build a squad who are capable of making the jump up to the next level.
One particular area where the Argentine will want to strengthen is his centre-forward department, with addition of a top-class striker needed to provide more competition for Harry Kane.
According to the Mirror, Spurs have identified Lazio hitman Ciro Immobile as a key summer transfer target, and he would be the ideal addition to Poch's squad this summer.
The 28-year-old has been quite simply sensational for the Rome club this season, scoring 41 goals in 45 appearances in all competitions thus far.
Immobile joined Lazio from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2016, for a fee believed to be in the region o £7.7 million, and he has proven to be a magnificent bargain for the Italian side.
Unlike his name might suggest, the Italy international possesses fantastic movement, and has far more to his game than just scoring goals.
The 28-year-old is also very powerful, and standing at just over 6ft tall, he is no slouch in the air either.
According to Transfer Markt, Immobile is valued at £39.6 million, and Lazio would surely be tempted into selling, if Spurs offered them somewhere in the region of that amount, considering the fact that it would represent a £30 million + profit for them.
If Pochettino does manage to bring the Lazio hitman to north London, it could turn out to be a signing of real significance for Tottenham.
