Manchester United and Tottenham have been linked with a move for Mexico super sub Pablo Barrera.
Lazio are understood to have had an initial bid rejected for the 23-year-old Pumas player because of interest from England.
The Italians want to sign Barrera on an initial one-year loan with the option of making the deal permanent for a bargain £3million.
However, the same scouts who recommended Javier Hernandez to Manchester United are also said to have been hugely impressed by Barrera's performances in the Clasura and Bicentenario competitions over the last year.
He starred after coming on as sub against France in Mexico's second match of the World Cup and also injected pace to the forward line during the defeat by Uruguay on Tuesday.
Tottenham are also said to be keen on the nippy winger, who can play on either flank and scored 12 goals in 28 league games over the last year.
Reports in Mexico say there is also interest from England in their Mexico defender Efrain Juarez, but a £5.75m valuation is putting off suitors.
