There is some Serie A link for the player, because he is the nephew of former Milan man Winston Bogarde. A central defender, he will go into the squad now coached by Gennaro Gattuso. Doekhi is the second free agent to join Lazio this summer, after Alfonso Pedraza. New centre-backs were required after Mario Gila was sold to Milan, while Alessio Romagnoli is heading to Al-Sadd, although the latter has not yet been completed weeks after the clubs reached an agreement.
