Former Lazio midfielder Juan Sebastian Veron believes the Rome club should be regarded as one of the leading contenders to win the Serie A title.
Speaking to SportWeek, Veron highlighted Lazio’s unbeaten opening to the season. The club have collected 29 points from their first 11 matches, the best tally in their history at this stage of the championship.
Lazio currently lead Inter by one point and are two points ahead of Roma.
Veron was part of the Lazio side that won the Italian title in 2000.
