Danilho Doekhi aims to thrive at Lazio after free transfer

Summary

Danilho Doekhi has joined Lazio on a free transfer after leaving Union Berlin. The 28-year-old defender expressed his excitement about the move, stating that Lazio feels like a perfect fit for him. Doekhi, noted for both his defensive skills and ability to contribute goals, has had an injury-free stint in recent seasons. He received advice from former teammate Leonardo Bonucci, which he believes will help him adapt to Serie A. The switch from a three-man to a four-man defense should not pose any issues for him as he is experienced in both formations.
