Officials from Italian giants Roma are due to head to London on Wednesday for talks with Arsenal over signing Gervinho.

The Giallorossi have been pushing to sign the Ivorian forward from the Gunners, but have so far not succeeded in thrashing out a deal with Arsene Wenger’s men.







Gervinho is wanted in the Italian capital by new Roma coach Rudi Garcia, who worked with the player at his former club Lille.

Now, according to Sky Italia, Roma officials are set to meet their Arsenal counterparts to try to hammer out an agreement for the forward.

The 26-year-old made 26 appearances in all competitions for Arsenal last season, finding the back of the net on seven occasions.
