Makinwa Joins Chievo On Loan

Italian Serie A relegation strugglers Chievo have officially signed Lazio marksman Stephen Makinwa on loan.

The Nigerian hitman has been frozen out at Lazio after falling behind Mauro Zarate, Goran Pandev and Tommaso Rocchi in the hierarchy. 

Makinwa became unhappy in the capital and put in a transfer request in December and Chievo have snapped him up. 

Chievo were looking to add some firepower as they prepare for a relegation dogfight. 

The 25-year-old will be formally presented to the Press tomorrow when he begins life with the Flying Donkeys. 

The Ceo new boy has been in the peninsula since 2000 when he signed for Reggiana and has played for many sides, including Genoa, Palermo and Atalanta.
