Roma renew interest in Genoa’s Jeff Ekhator

Roma is among the clubs interested in Genoa’s 2006-born Jeff Ekhator.

>The Genoa and Italian national team striker, used by coach Silvio Baldini in the friendly wins against Luxembourg and Greece, could leave Liguria during the summer transfer window.

>The 19-year-old was born and raised in Genoa to Nigerian parents and represents a versatile and adaptable profile, perfect for the Roma team Gian Piero Gasperini wants to build.

>Relations with Genoa are excellent (just look at the situation surrounding Venturino), and the 2006-born player would arrive in the capital without displacing anyone. Ekhator would be an excellent all-rounder for the Piedmontese coach, as he can play in all three attacking positions.

>In the season just ended, he made 30 appearances for the Rossoblu, scoring three goals.

>Furthermore, and not to be underestimated, he is Italian and could be included in the Champions League squad.
