Roma continues to work ahead of the January transfer window, aiming to provide Gian Piero Gasperini with the attacking winger he’s long sought.
As La Gazzetta dello Sport reports, one of the names that has resurfaced is Jamie Gittens, who was already in talks this summer as part of the deal that could have brought Manu Koné to Chelsea.

The Londoners had offered the Englishman a loan deal worth nearly €60 million, but the Friedkins decided not to proceed, citing a lack of time to replace the Frenchman.
Now the deal could be reopened, as Gittens is unhappy with his limited playing time at Chelsea, where he’s only played 55 minutes in two appearances this season, both in the Carabao Cup.
The English club could consider a loan move, while still believing in the player’s qualities. Roma likes him for his speed, one-on-one ability, and dynamism, although recent physical problems, including an ankle injury and a hamstring injury, require some reflection.
