Roma are still on the lookout for a new left winger, and although RB Leipzig’s Antonio Nusa in the dream, signing the Norwegian would cost a hefty fee.
According to Corriere dello Sport, Chelsea’s Gittens, 21, is the latest name on the Italian club’s shortlist.
Gittens joined Chelsea from Dortmund for a reported £48.5 million plus £3.5 million in add-ons last summer, but a hamstring injury meant he was unable to make much of an impression.
While a permanent deal for Gittens would also be expensive, reports have suggested that Chelsea may be willing to let him leave on loan.
