Lazio midfielder Keita Balde is in a continual struggle to get more minutes on the pitch with the Rome club.

Having participated for only 22 minutes against Bologna this weekend, the lack of starts are a big concern for the 22-year-old, according to Italian website Calcio Mercato.

The outlet claims  this situation makes clubs like Juventus and Milan pay more attention to the player, as both of them have been linked to him in the past few moths.

This should also be a sign for West Brom. Back in the summer, it was said the Baggies made a €18m, around £15m, offer for Keita at the end of the transfer window. According to the Italian media, Lazio wanted around €30m.

The player only has a contract until 2018, so if this situation continues,Lazio will have to take a decision regarding his future in the next few months. West Brom could be a more attractive option than Juventus for Keita, if time on the pitch is really the player’s priority.

Keita has seven goals and four assists in 22 appearances this season.
