Roma midfielder Houssem Aouar is yet to make an imprint on the club he joined last summer as a free agent following his years at Lyon.

The Algerian international, however, proved vital in securing Roma’s recent win over Feyenoord in the Europa League playoffs by scoring a goal in the final penalty shoot-out.

According to Corriere dello Sport, Aouar’s role at Roma is likely to increase in the coming weeks.

The newspaper reports that Daniele De Rossi is convinced of Aouar’s talent and contribution and is planning to increase his minutes as soon as tomorrow with Torino.
