Cavanda – Lazio

Lazio’s Belgium U-21 international defender Luis Pedro Cavanda is closing in on a move to English Premier League side Sunderland.

The Black Cats had identified the Angolan-born Belgian as the ideal right back to bolster their ranks as they look to improve on their leaky back line from last season.

The two sides have already been in negotiations over the player, and according to the Rome edition of Corriere della Sera, the move is almost at the very last stage before being confirmed.

The 23-year-old would have to challenge both Abdoulay Konko and Dusan Basta for the starting right back position if he were to stay at Lazio and it is thought that Cavanda is keen on a move to the Premier League.
