Liverpool have made an offer for Lazio midfielder Edy Onazi.

The Sunday Express says the Reds have offered Fabio Borini to Lazio in exchange for powerful midfielder Onazi.

The Reds are desperate for more strength in the centre of the park, and Brendan Rodgers has identified 22-year-old Onazi as the man to help the Reds storm back up the Premier League table.

The Nigeria international is a key man for the Serie A club, but Liverpool are looking to take advantage of Lazio's long-term interest in Borini by offering the former Chelsea and Roma forward plus £8million for Onazi's services.
