Roma lead chase for Ruffier

Italian giants AS Roma have emerged as favourites to sign French goalkeeper Stephane Ruffier from Saint Etienne, according to Le 10 Sport.

The highly rated shot-stopper has so far resisted temptation to leave les Verts for greener pastures, but he is likely to be subject of few more proposals in the summer transfer window.

AS Roma reportedly see Ruffier as a perfect long-term replacement for Morgan De Sanctis, with coach Rudi Garcia well aware of the player’s qualities.

However, the likes of AC Milan, Inter Milan, Arsenal, Valencia and Sevilla are also believed to be keen on the 28-year-old footballer.

After enjoying several successful seasons with AS Monaco, Ruffier moved to Saint Etienne in the summer of 2011.

He hasn’t missed a single minute of league action since, making 143 successive appearances in French Ligue 1.

Ruffier has been the third-choice keeper in the national team for quite a while and he has so far earned two France caps.
