Iran's international striker Sardar Azmoun has caught the eye of Italian top flight football team Lazio, according to a media report.
The 22-year-old is under contract until June 2018 and has been in Russia since January 2013 for Rubin Kazan and then Rostov, Xinhua news agency quoted Tehran Times daily.
The Italian team wants to sign Azmoun as a replacement for Fabio Borini who is going to join Milan.
Azmoun scored 12 goals and contributed three assists in 41 competitive games for Rostov this season, while he has 19 goals in 26 senior caps for Iran.
