Roma are reportedly eyeing one of the brightest talents of the English Championship in Ismael Kone.

With the season having come to an end, the Giallorossi are already lining up several transfer targets for the summer.

One of the major areas of focus will be the midfield.

Daniele De Rossi has made it clear to the club that he requires at least one additional box-to-box midfielder with pace and goal-scoring abilities.

As a result, Roma have begun their search for such a profile.

In recent weeks, numerous names have been linked with the club – the latest one is that of Watford midfielder Ismael Kone.

The 21-year-old is a player that intrigues Roma very much.

According to Corriere dello Sport, Roma met with Kone’s entourage during discussions revolving around Lille attacker Jonathan David.

Both players are Canadian and share the same entourage of agents and intermediaries.

The newspaper argues that Roma remain in contact for Kone who is coming off an impressive season for Watford.

Kone collected a total of 41 appearances with 4 goals and 3 assists to his name.
