Arsene Wenger is said to be unsure how long current shot-stopper Petr Cech will hang around and the Hornets missed out on signing Chelsea’s reserve Asmir Begovich in the transfer window.
However, Lazio are now in the mix as well.
The Serie A side are chasing the France under-18 international and are said to be ready to make a lucrative offer to bring him in, according to TalkSPORT.
