Lazio are leading the race for Lech Poznan winger Aleksandar Tonev, according to the player s representative.
Tonev, 23, has been in scintillating form this season, which has seen him caught the eye of some of Europe s top clubs.
A number of Italian clubs plus Celtic are all keen on the highly rated midfielder and his agent reveals the Bulgaria international can be acquired for mere £2 million.
“During the winter break, several Italian clubs showed interest in him, but we could not do a deal,” agent Gianfranci Cicchetti .
“Then the price was £1.5m, but after his recent excellent displays and his hat-trick for Bulgaria against Malta, I would say the transfer is close to £2m.”
The agent has moved to suggest that Lazio are leading the chase for his client.
It s no secret Lazio are most keen. They have been watching him for over a year.
Aleksandar Tonev began his professional career at CSKA Sofia, and he did well to earn himself a move to Lech Poznan in the summer of 2011.
He has since made 46 league appearances for the Polish club and scored 5 goals in the process.
Meanwhile, Tonev has nailed down a regular starting berth in the national team and even scored a hat-trick in the 2014 World Cup qualifier against Malta.
