Leeds United and Sunderland are ‘very interested’ in Roma striker Artem Dovbyk, who remains on the way out at the Italian club.
That’s according to journalist Niccolo Ceccarini at Tuttomercatoweb. He reports that the Ukrainian striker remains on the exit ramp in Rome.
According to his information, Roma are working, and have been for days, to give manager Gian Piero Gasperini at least one attacking reinforcement in the January transfer window.
They are closing in on a deal for Giacomo Raspadori. A loan deal to sign him from Atletico Madrid, which will include a mandatory obligation clause, is being worked on. The decision rests with the player.
If he does arrive, it will push Dovbyk further towards the exit. A loan move away from Roma is ‘looming’ for the Ukrainian striker. At this moment in time, he is ‘most likely’ to end up in England.
He has plenty of suitors in the Premier League. Leeds and Sunderland are, however, the ones who are ‘very interested’ in him at this moment in time.
Whether they both now make moves, remains to be seen. It would certainly be surprising given neither have had problems with their strikers in the Premier League this season.
Leeds have managed to get Dominic Calvert-Lewin firing while Sunderland have Wilson Isidor and Brian Brobbey, so neither are in desperate need at this point.
