“Lazio have now been given till December 9 by FIFA to respond to my letter asking for my wages,” Onazi disclosed.

“This was because Lazio said they need to translate the letter forwarded to them in English to Italian.”

Lazio did not pay the midfielder for the last two months of his contract before he moved to Turkey in the summer.
