Praise has been lavished on Lazio talent Keita Balde Diao by team-mate Gianmarco Falasca, who has dubbed the 18-year-old forward's talents "extraordinary".
Keita has been watched by English Premier League duo Manchester City and Liverpool, and Lazio are braced for interest in the starlet to firm up, even if they are confident of keeping him in the Italian capital.
And for young Lazio midfielder Gianmarco Falasca, who has been loaned out for the campaign, interest in the 18-year-old is no surprise given his undoubted potential.
"Keita has extraordinary talent. When he works, you can see he is quiet and he is really strong", Falasca told ideawebtv.it.

Keita was developed in the youth ranks at Barcelona, before opting to continue his progress in Italy with Lazio in 2011, despite interest from Real Madrid and Manchester United.
The forward has shown glimpses of magic for Lazio so far this season, providing a bright spot for the club in an otherwise lacklustre Serie A campaign.
Indeed, seven Serie A appearances have yielded two goals, while Keita has also shone in the Europa League, creating four goals for his team-mates in six matches.
