Cana, 27, is set to undergo a medical in Rome on Tuesday with a view to signing a five-year contract at the Stadio Olimpico.

The Albania international spent last season at Galatasaray, whom he joined from Sunderland in 2010.

"I'm happy because a new adventure awaits me at Lazio," Cana said. "It's always nice to join a new club.

"I played reasonably well last season, but I hope to do even better in the next campaign. Lazio are a great club with great fans."
