Cana is high on the list for Lazio and they would be interested in signing him in the summer, according to the Free Football Bet website. The 27-year-old midfielder has been starring for Galatasaray this season following his summer move from Sunderland to Turkey.

Lazio tried to sign him in January, when Aston Villa, Fulham and Bolton were also linked.

Now Lazio have returned and are confident they will get their man.

Lazio are reportedly interested in signing Newcastle midfielder Jonas Gutierrez in the summer and are keeping close tabs on him.

The £10million-rated winger has impressed for the Magpies since joining the club in 2008 and according to IMScouting, the Serie A side are preparing to make a bid for the Argentina international.

Lazio chief Claudio Lotito is reportedly a big fan of the 28-year-old and is keen on luring him to Rome when the transfer windows opens again in the summer.

Lazio have won their first victory away from home since October. Goals either side of halftime from forwards Alvaro Gonzalez and Libor Kozak kept Lazio in third spot, seven points behind leaders AC Milan who won on Saturday.

A double from Antonio Di Natale, his 17th and 18th of the season, helped Udinese triumph 3-0 at Cesena to go fifth while there were convincing home wins for Cagliari and Sampdoria, 4-1 and 3-1 over Chievo Verona and Bologna respectively.

Lazio president Lotito has once again insisted that nothing has been agreed with Man City to sign striker Santa Cruz. Santa Cruz is said to be putting the final touches on a loan move to the Rome club.

But Lotito insisted last night: "I've taken note of the player's desire to join the club on a temporary basis, but the talks are continuing and growing.

"We are aware and we believe something could be done. "

Lazio president Claudio Lotito has denied rumours linking Zarate with Spurs. The Argentine striker has been consistently linked with a host of Europe's top clubs after becoming one of the Rome-based side's key players.

Despite Spurs' significant squad size, Harry Redknapp may consider reinforcing his forward line. However Zarate, who had a successful spell with Birmingham in 2008, is not up for sale according to Lotito.

Lazio have switched their attentions to Manchester City striker Roque Santa Cruz after giving up on Juventus' David Trezeguet. Il Corriere dello Sport reports that Lazio have reached an agreement with City based on a loan with the option to buy the player at €8 million [£6.56m] when the deal expires.

Santa Cruz earns around €2m [£1.64m] per annum but Lazio want City to cover some of that during the loan - a detail that has held up the move, allowing Fiorentina and Newcastle United the chance to move into the equation.

Lazio have made an official bid for highly rated Brazilian Hernanes. The 25-year-old is a product of the Brazilian club's academy and Lazio are keen on bringing him to the Stadio Olimpico.

Hernanes has been linked to the Biancocelesti as well as Serie A rivals AC Milan, and is thought to be valued at €10million (£8.4m).

His agent Joseph Lee told La Repubblica: "There is an offer from Lazio and it is serious and I know that San Paolo is considering in the coming days and will decide what to do."

Gaetano D’Agostino may be on his way out of Udinese this summer and his representative admits that Lazio are in the driving seat to secure his services.

“Lazio are one of the teams that have never hidden their interest in D’Agostino,” agent Franco Zavaglia told Radio Radio.

But the Eternal City outfit are unlikely to make a move for D’Agostino during the transfer window if they decide to keep hold of playmaker Cristian Ledesma.

Lazio president Claudio Lotito has insisted "the sportsmanship and integrity of the club and players cannot be in doubt".

Lotito has rallied against widespread criticism of the team's performance against Inter Milan on Sunday. The Biancoceleste lost 2-0 to an Inter side who are challenging for the Scudetto against Lazio's bitter rivals Roma.

The home fans at the Stadio Olimpico were cheering for Inter, leading to accusations Lazio had rolled over to hinder Roma's title aspirations.
