Lazio rival Premier League trio for Ibrahim Afellay?

Lazio have become the latest club to emerge as contenders for the signature of Ibrahim Afellay, according to reports.

The 26-year-old looks likely to leave Barcelona at the end of the season, with Tottenham Hotspur, Arsenal and Liverpool all believed to be interested.

Afellay has been unable to establish himself at the Camp Nou and has subsequently been loaned out to Bundesliga outfit Schalke 04.

However, the Dutchman has struggled with injuries during his time in Germany and made just 11 starts.

According to talkSPORT, Lazio will battle the Premier League trio for his services in the summer after Die Knappen confirmed that they will not extend his stay at the Veltins-Arena.
