Roma go for Ighalo

By Football Italia staff

Roma are looking to the Premier League for Watford striker Odion Ighalo and Crystal Palace’s Yannick Bolasie.

According to Calciomercato.com, the Giallorossi believe Premier League forwards can improve their current goal-scoring problems and help Edin Dzeko feel more at ease.

Ighalo already has experience of playing in Italy, as the Watford player featured for Udinese and Cesena with a loan spell at Granada.

Udinese owners the Pozzo family also run Watford and Spanish side Granada, so regularly exchange players between these clubs.

Nigeria international Ighalo has really found his form this term, scoring 13 goals in just 18 Premier League games.

As for Bolasie, the 26-year-old wide left attacking player has been at Crystal Palace since 2012 and found the net four times with one assist in 16 games this season.
