Roma are looking at the possibility bringing in an additional striker to their squad.

Artem Dovbyk’s performances have gone ever since the player has been deployed while still not 100% fit.

The only other alternative is fielding Dybala as a false nine or playing Eldor Shomurodov from the start.

According to Corriere dello Sport, Roma have thus made an effort to look at the available names on the market who could potentially strengthen the attack in January.

One of the main options on Roma’s shortlist is Giacomo Raspadori of Napoli.

The Italian striker hasn’t been consistently featuring in Antonio Conte’s rotation and demands more playing time.

Napoli could let him go on loan, facilitating a deal in the summer in case the player does well.
