Liverpool and Real Madrid are both being linked with a move for Lazio's Swiss international right-back Stephan Lichtsteiner.
The 26-year-old is renowned as an attacking right-back and his marauding runs down the right flank have seen him dubbed 'Forrest Gump' in Italy. He is also able to play right-midfield.
Lichtsteiner moved to Lazio from Lille in 2008, having impressed at that summer's European Championships for Switzerland. He has since been a regular feature in the Lazio side and last season formed an exciting attacking full-back partnership with Aleksandar Kolarov.
Italian website Tuttomercato speculates that both Real Madrid and Liverpool are chasing Lichtsteiner. The Spanish giants have been linked with the defender before, but apparently Liverpool's interest is a recent development. There has been recent speculation over the Anfield future of current right-back Glen Johnson, particularly after he was publicly criticized by Liverpool boss Roy Hodgson.
