Roma considers loan for Chelsea’s Jamie Gittens, eyes Malick Fofana

Summary

Roma is exploring a loan move for Chelsea forward Jamie Gittens as they seek a new left-winger. Coach Gian Piero Gasperini identified Gittens and Lyon's Malick Fofana as targets. Chelsea previously rejected Roma’s initial contact but is open to a loan if a permanent deal isn’t possible. Roma's recent success against Fiorentina adds appeal for potential signings. The situation with Fofana may also be influenced by Lyon’s elimination from the Champions League qualifiers.
