Roma seeks attacking winger to bolster squad before transfer deadline

Summary

Roma is actively pursuing an attacking winger to aid manager Gian Piero Gasperini's squad. The team aims to strengthen its offensive lineup, currently featuring players like Dybala, Soulé, Mora, and Pellegrini, while excluding central attackers Malen, Castro, and Vaz. Sporting director Tony D’Amico is considering options, including Malick Fofana and Gittens, but progress has been slow for both potential targets from Lyon and Chelsea. The transfer window closes on September 1 at 8:00 PM, adding urgency to their search for a quick winger who can effectively contribute to the attack.
