Teenage Leicester City striker Lorenz Hutchinson is keen on a move to Italian side Lazio when his contract expires.

The 18-year-old was the subject of a £1.2m bid from the Serie A club on transfer deadline day, which included a 20% sell-on clause.

However, despite Hutchinson's desire to make the move, the deal collapsed over details related to payments to his entourage.

Two months on, key figures at Leicester expect him to leave and Hutchinson remains keen on a move to Lazio.

He is able to sign a pre-contract agreement with overseas clubs in January.

Hutchinson made his Foxes first-team debut this season as a substitute in an EFL Trophy victory over Fulham Under-21s, but has yet to appear in the league this season.

At youth level, Hutchinson scored 15 goals and delivered five assists in the Under-18s Premier League last season.
