After dominating Fiorentina, Roma replicated their performance and result at the Via del Mare against Lecce: another 4-0 victory, leaving their opponent with no chance to get into the game.
Gasperini also made it clear yesterday that he expects at least one more striker to raise the level of the attack.
With Leweling gone at the last minute, all eyes are on Gittens.
The 2004-born winger finished the season with some difficulty: just one goal and five assists in 1,102 minutes and four different physical issues.
The English winger is in poor health: out for 159 days, primarily due to two thigh injuries, and missing 25 games.
The transfer window in Italy closes at 8:00 PM, meaning clubs will no longer be able to make any signings this summer. Roma has increasingly less time to bring a left winger to the capital to complete Gasperini’s attack.
The path to Gittens is an uphill battle. As Fabrizio Romano reports, as of last night, Chelsea have had no sign of the 2004-born player on loan. The deal remains extremely complicated for the Giallorossi: the English winger is expected to remain on loan.
