AS Roma tracking Andrea Pinamonti as Gasperini looks for a new attack this summer

Before the start of this season, AS Roma made a big move by appointing Gian Piero Gasperini as head coach. Gasperini was a big scalp fro Roma, after his tenure which saw Atalanta push towards European football consistently. This came as Juventus and Milan where both also chasing Gasp.

It was a statement of intent signing for Roma, however their mercato failed to back it up. Wesley Franca was a good signing as a wing back, however Roma needed a player for the left channel rather than the right, which has forced him to play out of position. But Roma biggest miss was not signing a proper striker during the summer.

Artem Dovbyk was already in the capital before Gasperini joined however, Gasp wasn’t a fan of his playstyle. Gasperini pushed for a striker all summer, but all Roma only managed to sign Evan Ferguson on loan. But, he was sent back only six months into his loan. However, the signing of Donyell Malen in January rectified the mistakes they made in January.

Malen will stay with Roma past this season to help Roma’s project in attack. However, it won’t be enough for Roma in the attack, as Gasperini is pushing for another name. Now, according to Tuttosport via RomaPress the name that is being scouted is Andrea Pinamonti.

Gasperini has been a fan of Pinamonti over the last few seasons, even requesting Atalanta to sign him before he left. This has lead to Roma beginning  to scout Pinamonti over this season, to see if he can fit in for the Giallorossi for next season. Pinamonti has scored eight goals over 29 league games during this season.
