Chelsea, Tottenham target Mitrovic pondering Roma move

Aleksandar Mitrovic is contemplating a summer move to AS Roma.


The Anderlecht striker has been heavily linked with a shift to the Premier League, with Chelsea and Tottenham in pursuit, but he has revealed that there has been an offer from the Giallorossi.

"I have received an offer from Roma, but I still do not know if I will accept," Mitrovic told La Gazzetta dello Sport.

"I have to decide, together with my agent, the best solution for my career. Roma is a strong team, a very good team, and I know Rudi Garcia well, he is a great coach. "Soon you will know my destination. Aside from Roma, there is also strong interest of Benfica and Porto. It will be important for me to feel good in the country and when I choose my new team, I need to have assurances of playing. For sure, in Italy the sun always shines. In Belgium it was fine, but it's time to go elsewhere, to have other experiences."

Serbia international Mitrovic, 20, has netted 44 goals in the past two seasons in Belgium with Anderlecht.
