Meet Liverpool linked Lazio stopper Thomas Strakhosa
Strakosha plays alongside former Anfield favourite Lucas for Lazio.
At 23 he’s less than a year younger than Loris Karius and he has made 77 appearances for the club in the Italian capital, including 37 of their 38 Serie A matches last season.
He declared on Instagram over the weekend that he was “missing the pitch” and as an international for Albania, who have never qualified for the World Cup finals, the action in Russia must be a tough watch for him.
Born in Athens, Greece, in March 1995, where his 73-cap Albanian goalkeeper father Foto was playing at the time for Olympiakos, Strakosha junior has so far turned out five times having been part of their international set-up since U17s level.
