West Ham defender Angelo Ogbonna is reportedly the ‘most feasible’ transfer option for Lazio in the summer.
The 33-year-old is expected to miss the remainder of the season having sustained a cruciate ligament injury in November.
We can confirm that Angelo Ogbonna sustained an anterior cruciate ligament injury during Sunday’s match against Liverpool.

Despite currently being sidelined, the experienced Italian ace has been linked with a move to the Serie A club.
According to a report from Citta Celeste (via Sport Witness), the Irons’ stalwart has is an option for Maurizio Sarri.
It’s claimed that the 13-cap Italy international is the likely candidate to bolster the defensive ranks at The Stadio Olimpico.
Prior to Ogbonna’s injury, the powerful ace had scored once in 11 Premier League outings for David Moyes’ side.

Valued at just £1.8million and out of contract at the end of the season (Transfermarkt), the long-term injury may well have put pay to the likelihood of a new deal.
Whilst performances were undoubtedly at a high level prior to the costly blow and Moyes has missed the Italian, offering a 33-year-old a new deal on the back of such a serious layoff would be a bold move.
Should it indeed be the case that the 443 career appearance star has played his final game as an Iron, it would be a huge shame to end in these circumstances.
