Reports in Italy say Liverpool striker Bobby Adekanye has landed in Rome to complete his transfer to Lazio, and was expected to watch Lazio’s 2-0 victory over Atalanta Coppa Italia Final at the Stadio Olimpico.

The 20-year-old makes the move as a free agent, as his contract with the Liverpool academy was allowed to expire.

As confirmed by his own Twitter account, Adekanye landed in Rome’s Fiumicino Airport Wednesday afternoon and was greeted by heavy rain.

Before moving to Liverpool in 2015, Adekanye spent time in the Ajax and Barcelona youth academies.

“Four years ago, when I arrived to Liverpool, I was still a child. Now I leave as a man, and I take with me a new family which I’ll feel mine forever,” he wrote in an open letter on social media.

“It’s not easy to find the right words for thanking everything Liverpool FC has given to me these years.

“To every coach I had in Academy and Melwood, to every teammate I shared good moments with, to every employee who where always by my side. Thanks a lot.

“I don’t know neither how nor when, but I’m sure that our ways will meet again someday.

“Stand by with me on June 1st. I’ll be one more helping the team to win the Champions League final. #YNWA”
