Lazio have announced the signing of Sassuolo defender Francesco Acerbi on a five-year contract.4
The 30-year-old has been with the Neroverdi since 2013, making more than 170 appearances for the club.
Acerbi, who has won two caps for Italy, was believed to be on the radar of West Ham United and Fulham.
However, the Biancocelesti announced the centre-back’s signing on Wednesday after he passed a medical.
The 30-year-old is an Italy international who effectively replaces Stefan de Vrij.
