El Shaarawy: ‘Great Roma opportunity’

By Football Italia staff

Stephan El Shaarawy describes Roma as “a great opportunity” as he prepares to move on loan from Milan.

The winger has been on loan with Monaco for the first half of this season, but the principality side refuse to select him as they’ll be obligated to make the deal permanent if he plays another game.

“The Giallorossi are a great opportunity,” El Shaarawy told Sky this evening.

“I’m happy, I want to get to work immediately and help out. It’s emotional to be returning to Italy. There’s not much to talk about now, I have to do well so I can be available to the Coach [Luciano Spalletti]."

El Shaarawy is expected in Rome tonight, before undergoing a medical tomorrow.
