Seeing his season stopped on two separate occasions by small meniscal injuries, Amadou Diawara could have been forgiven for struggling to get back into Paulo Fonseca’s side once he returned, but that was never the case.
The defensive midfielder was placed back into the first-team almost immediately by the Portuguese, showing the trust he has in the 23-year-old, who has been in fine form in recent weeks.
Roma are unbeaten in seven games, and teams in the Premier League are taking notice of the player’s talent, including Leicester City and Newcastle United.
This is what Corriere dello Sport are reporting on Friday, claiming the English duo are ‘observing with interest’ the situation surrounding the Guinean.
Leicester’s inclusion in this could have something to do with the future of Wilfried Ndidi, who will surely have a bunch of suitors at his door over the coming months, while Newcastle and Steve Bruce know they have to recruit to improve on this season’s 13th spot.
Previous reports talking of the likes of Tottenham being interested suggested Roma were looking for €30m for their promising midfielder, which remains affordable for most Premier League sides.
It’s worth reminding everyone that Leicester are also said to be keen on William Carvalho, meaning this is an area they definitely intend to address in the coming months.
