According to the Football Italia, “Roma have reportedly asked Arsenal if they can sign Egypt international Mohamed Elneny on loan with option to buy. According to Tuttomercatoweb, the 26-year-old is a new January transfer target with the door open to either confirm his purchase or let him return to London at the end of the season. Roma are seeking midfield reinforcements, as Daniele De Rossi and Steven Nzonzi are dealing with injury problems.”
