AS Roma's on-loan Barcelona striker Bojan Krkic wants to play for Spain at the London Olympics.

The 21-year-old has struggled to make an impact since leaving Barcelona for Serie A last summer, managing only four goals in 25 league appearances, but is still optimistic he will be in the picture to play in the upcoming Games.

"I have not lost hope of going to the Games in London," the striker said.

While he has not yet had the success he wanted with Roma, Bojan insisted he remains upbeat about his future in Italy.

"I still speak with my former (Barcelona) team-mates, but now my place is in Rome," he said.

"Here, I am still growing. I am 21 years old and have many things to learn. My feelings are still positive."
