AS Roma targets a new striker in January

AS Roma’s management has given the green light to strengthen the squad during the January transfer window. The club is mainly in the market for a new centre-forward.

The top target is Joshua Zirkzee from Manchester United. But Roma is also looking at other players, including Breel Embolo. Embolo, 28, joined Nice this summer and has already netted 4 goals in 10 matches. His profile is highly appreciated at Roma, where the team lacks a striker of his kind.

The catch: Embolo has only just moved clubs, and it’s unclear if he’ll want to leave again so soon, especially with the World Cup coming up. However, Roma now has the financial means to make a move.
