Lazio are reportedly preparing a swoop for West Ham United right-back Julien Faubert.

The Hammers are under pressure to sell, as they were relegated from the Premier League and his contract only runs until June 2012.

According to the Daily Mirror, Flaubert could be heading for the Stadio Olimpico.

Lazio could snap up the Frenchman for just under £4m.

It's not the first time he has been linked with a Serie A move, as Milan were showing an interest some months ago.
