Hertha Berlin Set To Hijack Lazio's Rasmus Bengtsson Deal - Report

The Swedish defender could join Hertha instead of Lazio...

Highly rated Trelleborgs centre-back Rasmus Bengtsson is the subject of quite an impressive transfer saga, which has taken yet another crazy twist if a report in BZ is to be believed.

The Swedish youngster initially appeared to be on his way to Dutch powerhouse PSV, but the transfer collapsed when the Eindhoven side refused to meet Bengtsson's financial demands.

Then Lazio stepped up to sign the 23-year-old before Eredivisie champions AZ appear to have convinced Bengtsson to join them in a last-ditch attempt.

However, on Tuesday a report emerged that the defender had decided to join Lazio after all. German newspaper BZ now claims that Bengtsson will join Hertha BSC.

The Swede has reportedly completed a medical and will be presented to the press later on Thursday. Official confirmation of the deal has yet to be announced.
