Lazio are reportedly interested in Kilmarnock's 20-year-old Scottish midfielder David Watson and face competition from Rangers to sign him. The player's contract is set to expire in the summer, making a move in January a possibility. According to Il Messaggero, Lazio have recently been scouting the Scotland U21 captain.
He has reportedly emerged as a surprise target to provide manager Maurizio Sarri with inexpensive reinforcements during the winter transfer window, as he could be available for less than his €1.7 million Estimated Transfer Value. A midfielder is a priority for the Serie A club, which is confident it will be able to make transfers in January after having a transfer ban in the summer. Watson has made 12 appearances for the Scotland U21 team, scoring once, and in the current Scottish Premiership season, he has scored 3 goals and provided 1 assist in 13 appearances.
