Aberdeen striker Sam Cosgrove could be in line for a shock move to Serie A, according to a report.

The in-form Dons forward has been attracting admirers but the latest club reportedly keen comes straight out of left-field.

Italian manager Simone Inzaghi has, according to reports abroad, shortlisted the target man for a potential switch to Lazio.

Sam Cosgrove up there with the best strikers, says team-mate Andrew Considine

Cittaceleste are claiming Cosgrove's abilities as a 6ft 2in hit man would be appealing to Inzaghi who would be able to sign him on the cheap compared to other possible targets.

Cosgrove, 22, has already scored nine goals in eight games this season - including a brilliant Europa League hat-trick against Chikhura Sachkhere.
