Sunderland still chasing Lazio fullback

Cavanda – Lazio

Sunderland have not given up hope of enticing Lazio fullback Luis Cavanda to the club this summer.

The 23 year old Belgian is deemed surplus to requirements by new coach Stefano Pioli at the Aquile, after the club signed right back Dustan Basta from Udinese last month.

Sky Sport Italia report that Sunderland could re-enter negotiations with Lazio over Cavanda, after suspending their interest a few weeks ago.

Also in the frame for the nippy fullback is Turkish side Besiktas, who have also identified Juventus fullback Marco Motta as an option to bolster their defence.
