Over the past few weeks, the Italian press have covered Joshua Zirkzee’s future at Manchester United. While the UK press has presented West Ham as a destination, the Dutchman can have doubts about joining the Hammers.
This comes from today’s Gazzetta dello Sport, who report on AS Roma interest in the forward.
The newspaper believe Zirkzee is at the top of the Giallorossi’s January shortlist. He is expected to seek an exit from Manchester United due to his desire. to play at the World Cup.
Gazzetta indicate that West Ham could be one of the clubs interested in the 24-year-old. Roma also see competition from the Premier League as a big threat.
There are major doubts about whether Zirkzee would be willing to move to Nuno Espirito Santo’s side. This is because of West Ham’s struggles this season, as they find themselves 18th in the Premier League.
This can prove to be an advantage for Roma. Their sporting director Ricky Massara also has the Manchester United player at the top of his January shortlist.
He is seen as someone who will be perfect for Gian Piero Gasperini’s attack. Evan Ferguson has struggled to impress and is out injured. Artem Dovbyk has become a regular in the last few weeks but isn’t guaranteeing goals. Zirkzee is seen as a solution to these problems.
