Roma chief Monchi admits they're not close to signing Sassuolo striker Gregoire Defrel.

The Frenchman is also interesting Leicester City.

Monchi said, “We're a long way off.

"We are trying for a player with a similar profile to ours, but he is not the only option. Yesterday we had a meeting with Sassuolo, but we want to pay the right price. We have no intention of paying over the odds for a player."
