Serie A side Lazio have completed the signing of striker Taty Castellanos from MLS side New York City FC on a permanent deal.

The 24-year-old Argentinian proved to be a superb servent for the Cityzens during a four year spell at the club which brought an impressive record of 50 goals from just 109 MLS matches.

The deal was announced via the club’s official social media profiles which minutes later also confirmed Girona will take Lazio on in a pre-season friendly on August 6 at the Stadio Montilivi.
