Sources in Italy have confirmed that Lazio have sold Djibril Cisse to English Premier League outfit Queens Park Rangers for €5M.

 

The Frenchman has been keen to head back to England, where he has previously turned out for Liverpool and Sunderland, while Lazio were happy to bank the cash, as Cisse has struggled to enjoy success in Edy Reja’s side.

 

Indeed, after two goal-filled seasons in Greece with Panathinaikos, Cisse has failed to regularly find the back of the net in Serie A, managing just one league strike, one in the Coppa Italia and three in Europe – giving a total of five in 25 games.

 

And now Lazio president Claudio Lotito has admitted that Cisse has been sold to QPR.

 

Lazio boss Reja will instantly put the money to good use, as the club push ahead with their swoop for Japanese international Keisuke Honda.

 

The former VVV-Venlo man is expected to arrive from CSKA Moscow shortly.
