Roma are reportedly in the mix for Toulouse striker Thijs Dallinga.

The 23-year-old striker is being considered by the Giallorossi as a replacement of Romelu Lukaku.

With Big Rom gone back to Chelsea following the conclusion of his loan, Roma have shifted their attention on potential replacements.

Most names linked with the capital club so far seem to be coming from France’s Ligue 1.

Roma technical director Florent Ghisolfi is extremely familiar with the French top flight and considers it a good scouting ground for players compatible with Daniele De Rossi’s playing style.

Thus, Corriere dello Sport reports that Roma have reached out to Toulouse for Dallinga.

The Dutchman is known for his heading abilities given his impressive frame and stature and is coming off a season with 19 goals and 2 assists to his name.

According to the Italian newspaper, Dallinga’s worth is estimated at €20 million – a fee within range of Roma’s capabilities.
