Lazio expect big things from signings

Lazio president Claudio Lotito believes new comers Miroslav Klose and Djibril Cisse will return the club to the top of Italian football.

It has been over ten years since Lazio last lifted the Scudetto, but Lotito is in confident mood ahead of the coming season following the signing of his two new strikers.

"They can help bring Lazio back to the top level in Italy and Europe. With Cisse and Klose in attack, Lazio will go far," Lotito was quoted as saying by Il Corriere dello Sport.

"We have signed Klose and Cisse, hoping they will be decisive in terms of physique, quality, character and experience.

"I appreciate Klose's moral qualities, as he is a very professional figure who will give this team a step up in quality.

"I have to thank Cisse, as he had other offers, but firmly wanted to join Lazio.

"He wishes to prove his worth in Serie A after recovering from two very serious injuries. He has great strength of character."

Lazio finished fifth in Serie A last season and will play in next season's Europa League.
