With the transfer window winding to a close, Roma defender Chris Smalling has drawn interest from Saudi Arabia.

The English centreback – who featured from the start in Roma’s first two games of the season – is said to have been approached by a Saudi club in recent days.

According to Corriere dello Sport, however, Smalling turned down every offer that came his way this summer following his decision to sign a new contract with the capital club.

Roma do not expect any outgoing transfers to take place within the next few hours with the exception of Ola Solbakken who is set to complete a loan move to Olympiakos.
