Agent: Guendouzi a Lazio player thanks to Sarri

Agent Stefano Antonelli says Mateo Guendouzi joined Lazio due to Maurizio Sarri.

The former Arsenal midfielder joined Lazio in August from Olympique Marseille.

Antonelli told Sportitalia: "Lazio were looking for a replacement for (Sergej) Milinkovic-Savic, if we can say so. They explored multiple situations, Sarri had a fundamental role in identifying the various possible solutions.

"At a certain point I made this proposal which was evaluated very positively by the Biancocelesti.

"And I must be very sincere in saying that (president Claudio) Lotito was good at believing in it completely to make sure that everything went through."
