Lazio lead Yilmaz race

Lazio are believed to be close to completing a 5million euro deal for Trabzonspor striker Burak Yilmaz.

Yilmaz has also been linked with a number of Premier League sides, including Spurs, but La Gazzetta dello Sport claim the Rome club are set to win the battle for the Turkey international. Reports suggest the terms of a four-year deal have been agreed between Lazio and Yilmaz and the transfer is expected to be concluded in the coming days. The only detail remaining in the transfer is whether or not Lazio will need to pay the full transfer fee in one installment or in a number of installments.
