Lazio midfielder Ogenyi Onazi has confirmed his interest in joining Liverpool during the January transfer window.

Onazi, who is enjoying another strong season in Italian football, has been increasingly linked with a move away from Lazio in the new year.

And amid growing links with Liverpool, the 20-year-old says he would be interested in moving to Merseyside if an offer arrived.

"I would jump at the chance to play in the Premier League," said Onazi.

"Liverpool? They are a huge team and are attractive to any footballer. I could see myself playing for them."

Onazi was reportedly watched by Reds scouts during Nigeria's 2-2 draw with Italy at Craven Cottage on Monday, in which the midfielder impressed.

Lazio are believed to want about £6million for his services, with Inter Milan and Ajax also known to be keen.
Fast, strong and with an eye for goal, Onazi has been compared to Jay Jay Okocha.
