Highly-rated Colombian striker Brayan Perea has revealed that he is close to joining Lazio after arriving in Italy for a medical.
The 20-year-old, who had previously been linked with a number of European clubs, currently represents Deportivo Cali in his home nation.
"Arriving in a big club like Lazio is for me a reason to be happy. I know I am a young player, but I have to learn many things," he told reporters at a press conference.
The move is expected to be finalised this week.
