Roma keen on Chelsea's Jamie Gittens for January move

Roma want to strengthen their wide options for the January window, and sporting director Tony D'Amico has one of his main tables open with Chelsea over Jamie Gittens, the English winger Gian Piero Gasperini could use as a left-sided playmaker. According to TuttoMercatoWeb, Gittens was close to Roma last summer, as part of an operation worth almost 60 million for Manu Koné that could not be completed in time.

Now he has little game time under Xabi Alonso: he has played only two Carabao Cup matches, for 45 minutes in total, and competes with Neto, Estevao, Quenda and Rogers. Chelsea could open to a loan with an option or obligation to buy, although at Stamford Bridge they still believe in the qualities he showed at Borussia Dortmund. Napoli could also find him interesting.
