Champions League-bound Lazio looks set to complete their fifth signing of the summer transfer window after the Serie A outfit officially sealed terms for Danish U21 star Gustav Isaksen.
According to reports from Fabrizio Romano, the capital side has had their ~€17m bid for Isaksen accepted by Danish giants FC Midtjylland, with the winger set to hopefully complete his medical on Monday ahead of the upcoming 2023-24 Serie A season.

Isaksen is coming off a fantastic 2022-23 campaign with Ulvene after spending four seasons in the senior team in the wake of graduating from the club’s academy setup.
Across all competitions last season, Isaksen bagged an impressive 22 goals in 44 combined appearances, including 18 in 31 outings in the Danish Superliga.
Isaksen is set to become the fifth signing to arrive at Stadio Olimpico this summer for Lazio after the club bid farewell to key assets Sergej Milinković-Savić, and Francesco Acerbi, as well as Gonzalo Escalante and Argentine starlet Luka Romero.
To counter their losses, Lazio has thus far welcomed Taty Castellanos, Matteo Cancellieri, Diego González, and Daichi Kamada into the fold under manager Maurizio Sarri as they plan for just their second season in the Champions League in the last sixteen years.
