Stuttgart defender Holger Badstuber could replace Stefan de Vrij at Lazio - “I’ve heard great things”.

Badstuber is a German international, but his career has been blighted by injury and he made just 18 Bundesliga appearances across his final four seasons at Bayern Munich.

However, a loan spell at Schalke 04 and a move to Stuttgart have reinvigorated him, and his next stop could be Serie A.
