Lazio president Lotito thrilled with Arsenal loanee Tavares

The fullback has been loaned from Arsenal with an option to make the move permanent.

And Lotito says: "We have built a new team with potential suited to today’s football, be patient.

"Ours is a real and strong group. We have many players called up by the national team , but I am convinced that all the new arrivals are also of a high level. But have you seen what technique (Taty) Castellanos has? And now he has also made his debut with Argentina.

"You always have to give the players time to settle in. Tavares is the same, have you seen what a player he is? And now you will also see (Samuel) Gigot."
