Chinaglia has USA starlets lined up for Lazio

Giorgio Chinaglia was in the stands yesterday to see Lazio defeat Sampdoria.
The former Lazio star has extended his stay in Rome as he tries to convince Claudio Lotito to sell the club to his consortium.

Chinaglia has already claimed he has a shopping list for the summer market and it's understood he will seek to use his profile in the United States to help Lazio build their brand throughout the country.
Indeed, Chinaglia is ready to bring two of the 'States' hottest young prospects to Lazio in the summer in Freddy Adu and Danny Szetela.
Chinaglia will seek to convince Adu he has a better chance of developing his talent at a club of Lazio's size, rather than accepting a big money move to the likes of Chelsea or Real Madrid after the World Cup.
Szetela, a teammate of Adu with the USA U20 team, is tipped to be America's answer to David Beckham with marketing experts predicting the midfielder will outstrip the England captain in endorsement earnings.
