Roma’s coach Gian Piero Gasperini may likely reunite with striker Ademola Lookman in the January window, former Atalanta striker Nicola Ventola has predicted.
Ventola based his prediction on the fact that Rome did not get Gasperini all the players he wanted in the summer and so they would try to sign Lookman who is unsettled in Atalanta.
Lookman who is gradually playing his way back into Atalanta first team after handing a transfer request was denied a move to Inter by his club.
“I think they’ll try. Lookman can change the team,” Ventola told Viva El Futbol podcast via Calciomercato.com.
“If you have Lookman on one side and Soulé on the other, then Dovbyk would not struggle that much. I think Gasperini isn’t happy with what he has. He’s working, but his objective is to improve the team with more suitable players for his playing style. This is not his team.”
Former defender Lele Adani added: “Roma, if they can, must make an outstanding sacrifice to sign Lookman because I’m convinced, they’ll remain up there until January.”
Roma are the joint-table leaders in Serie A with Napoli, having collected 15 points in the opening six games of the campaign.
