Lazio Enquire About a Swedish Defender Who Impressed Them in Europa League
Lazio have reportedly made contact with Lugororets to enquire about the availability of their defender Edvin Kurtulus. The Biancocelesti finished on top of the 36-team Europa League table, but the only side that managed to derail their momentum (aside from Braga who beat them on the final day when they had already secured qualification) is Ludogorets who managed to survive Lazio's onslaught to cling onto a famous draw at the Stadio Olimpico, albeit in a contest marred by controversial incidents According to FotbollDirekt, the directors of the Italian capital side were left impressed by Kurtulus who produced a solid showing at the back. Curiously, this was the Swede's first-ever outing in the Europa League. The source claims Lazio made contact with the Bulgarian club but have yet to submit a concrete bid. Nevertheless, the report insists that the 24-year-old is now a genuine target for the Aquile who could be looking to add him to Marco Baroni's squad next summer. The Bulgarian champions have reportedly named their price at circa €13 million. Kurtulus was born and raised in Sweden but has Kosovan roots. After representing his country of origin on the U21 level, he later switched his allegiance, making his senior debut for the Swedish senior national in 2022. At club level, he started his career at his hometown club of Halmstads before joining Hammarby in 2022. Last summer, he signed for Ludogorets on a deal worth €1.45 million.

Lyon held by eliminated Ludogorets but through to last 16
Jan 30 (Reuters) - Olympique Lyonnais secured a direct spot for the Europa League last 16 despite a lacklustre 1-1 home draw against Ludogorets in the final round of league phase on Thursday. The result left the French side in sixth place with 15 points from eight games. Corentin Tolisso opened the scoring early in the second half after benefiting from a defensive blunder before Dinis Almeida levelled with 13 minutes left. Lyon were without a permanent coach after Pierre Sage was sacked earlier this week amid a string of poor results with Paulo Fonseca set to succeed him on Friday. Ludogorets, who were already eliminated, put on a decent fight and could have wrapped up the win in the second half. The visitors had keeper Sergio Padt to thank for in the opening half but Lyon avoided defeat in the dying second thanks to a superb save by Lucas Perri and were booed by their crowd as they left the pitch.
