The Giallorossi’s unbeaten run and several clean sheets are also in big part thanks to Chris Smalling’s re-emergence as the Englishman continues to be one of the more consistent individuals in Roma’s starting eleven.
The player has featured from the start 17 times in Serie A this year, helping keep 5 clean sheets.
According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the club are currently reflecting on a contract extension for the centre-back given that his current one expires in 2023.
Smalling and his entourage would be willing to sign an extension right away, but await a decision by the club who want to prioritize eventual renewals by the end of the campaign.
