Premier League clubs Leeds United and West Ham United have set their sights on Roma striker Artem Dovbyk. Meanwhile, the Italian club is eyeing Lecce forward Nikola Krstovic as a potential replacement if Dovbyk departs.
Dovbyk, who joined Roma last summer for €38.5 million, has struggled to adapt to Serie A football. His situation has reportedly worsened under new manager Gian Piero Gasperini, whose tactical approach differs from what the Ukrainian striker is accustomed to.
English Clubs Show Interest
Leeds United recently sent scouts to observe Dovbyk during a friendly match against Everton. West Ham had previously expressed interest in the striker, suggesting a move to the Premier League could be on the horizon for the 26-year-old.
Roma`s Contingency Plan
Should Dovbyk leave, Roma has already identified his potential successor. Lecce`s Nikola Krstovic is reportedly eager to make the move to the Stadio Olimpico. Interestingly, Leeds United had initially approached Krstovic, but the player declined, preferring to remain in Serie A.
As the transfer window progresses, it remains to be seen whether Dovbyk will make the switch to the Premier League and if Roma will succeed in securing Krstovic`s services as a replacement.
