    Rozehnal wants Lazio move

    28 Feb 2008 - 07:27:06

    Czech Republic defender David Rozehnal is keen to make his loan move from Newcastle United to Lazio into a permanent transfer in the summer.

    Rozehnal, 27, swapped Tyneside for the Eternal City in January after failing to settle in England following his summer arrival from Paris St Germain.

    But rather than return to St James' Park, the on-loan defender is hoping to remain with Lazio.

    "We will see what Lazio decide in the summer," the defender told Sport. "Of course I would like to stay here as long as possible.

    "Of course, the city is more pleasant than Newcastle. I get up in the morning and it is 18 degrees. That is one of the factors that helps me against a bad mood.

    "Either it turns out well for me and Lazio will want me on a permanent stay, or I will return to Newcastle. A lot is at stake."

    However, Rozehnal has admitted he is not totally happy in Rome after making just two first-team appearances to date.

    He added: "I came to Lazio to play football. I am not happy about it but what can I do. I don't know if I would be playing more at Newcastle.

    "I came to Rome with a view to getting better prepared for Euro 2008, but that is still a long way away.

    "I need to do well at Lazio because I am fighting for my place in the team."
