It's looking like Lazio for Guidetti

After his fruitful spell in Holland found more nets than a vulnerable sea-bass circling a trawler in the middle of the ocean, John Guidetti could be on his way out of Manchester City after voicing his disinterest in just sitting on the bench at Eastlands.

20 year old Guidetti hit a more-than-clinical 20 goals in 23 games whilst on loan at Feyenoord last season and has sparked a rush for his signature following his indication that he wishes not to stay in the reserves at Manchester City.

Favourites for his services appear to be Italian club Lazio after Guidetti's agent, Roberto Di Fanti, has been reported by Sky Sports as setting up a meeting with Biancoceleste Sporting Director Igli Tare.

Back in the Premier League, there have been reports that Newcastle and Sunderland are interested in getting their hands on the promising Swedish striker, with the latter having to settle for a temporary move for him.

However, Guidetti, born to Italian paternity, has previously announced that it would be a "dream" to move east to the Serie A with Lazio, with the Rome club in need of a goal-scoring striker according to agent Di Fanti.

The agent also says that Fiorentina and Sampdoria are also chasing Guidetti, but Lazio hold the aces as it suits his clients "origins".

Even though Guidetti has said he is willing to remain in Manchester to fight for his place, Di Fanti admits his client may find it hard to emerge ahead of City's plethora of attacking options, so is fighting for his right to move away.
