Serie A, Premier League clubs keen on Roma's Viviani

Federico Viviani is attracting a lot of attention according to his agent.

The Roma midfielder, 22, is currently on loan with Italian Serie B side Latina and has impressed so much that there is a little bit of a stir of interest surrounding his name.

Viviani was close to joining Leeds United in the summer but his representative Giovanni Ferro said his client preferred to remain in Italy.

"There is interest from both divisions [in Italy], and clubs from the Premier League. Obviously our preference is to stay at Roma," Ferro told Calciomercato.

"[After the Leeds bid], the proposal of Latina and the desire to remain in Italy convinced the boy to deny the transfer to England."
