Chelsea fullback Davide Zappacosta is excited to be moving to AS Roma.

Now in Rome, Zappacosta is due to sign on a season-long loan.

He told TMW: "Very exciting, I missed Italy so much and I am happy to be able to return, even more to Roma that is near my home.

"I know the manager (Paulo Fonseca), the squad and the fans and I know how much passion they put into it.

"The team is very young and I think we can do well."
