Immobile Aim For Higuain's Serie A Record

JAKARTA - Lazio star Ciro Immobile is eyeing the Serie A record scored by Gonzalo Higuain. But of course, this can only be done when the season continues.

Currently, Serie A competitions and Europe's top leagues are being suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic or the corona virus. The entire club is not yet certain when the season will start again.

Before the competition was stopped, Immobile had scored 27 goals in Serie A. With 12 games remaining, Immobile was close to hitting Higuain's record of 36 goals in a single Serie A season, which he set with Napoli in 2015-16.

The 30-year-old hopes he can achieve that goal. To Sky Sport on Monday he said: "I don't know. It depends.

"I'm training hard to achieve this goal. Everyone has their own desire. It would be nice.

"It's like an Easter egg. We'll see the surprise when we get back on the pitch. I'll do my best."

Immobile has helped Lazio sit second, only one point behind Juventus, when the season was suspended.

The Italy international said the club would focus on its first Serie A title since 1999-2000.

"The ambition remains. It's clear that at the moment we don't think much about football," Immobile said.

"As the time to get back on the pitch approaches, we have to be good at preparing ourselves mentally because there will be 12 games which are very important to continue our dream."
