FIFA give Lazio green light in dispute with Liverpool over youngster

  /  autty

FIFA have given Bobby Adekanye the green light to play for Lazio after his free transfer from Liverpool.

Liverpool claimed Lazio broke the rules in their pursuit of 20-year-old forward Adekanye.

The Nigerian left Anfield after becoming disillusioned at lack of opportunities with Jurgen Klopp's side.

That opened a dispute case which could have meant the Nigerian would not be eligible to play for Lazio in their first Serie A game of the season against Sampdoria on Sunday.

But FIFA have have announced that Adekanye has been granted ‘temporary membership’, according to Calciomercato - meaning Simone Inzaghi is free to pick him.
