Roma were in talks on Wednesday afternoon for Arsenal’s Gervinho and a deal looks close to being completed.

Gervinho has been on Roma’s shortlist for the past couple of weeks but Roma has been recently active for the Ivory Coast international.

According to Sky Italia, claim director of sport Walter Sabatini was in London Wednesday to have a face-to-face discussion about the Ivory Coast International.

It is thought the Gunners are looking for a fee of approximately €8 million.

Gervinho played 63 games last season for Arsenal with 11 goals and 13 assists.
