Roma to bid for Simone Scuffet

La Gazzetta dello Sport is reporting that AS Roma are hot on the trail of Udinese goalkeeper Simone Scuffet.

The Giallorossi are in the market for a new number one given that Wojciech Szczesny, Morgan De Sanctis and Bogdan Lobont could all leave at the end of the season.

And it appears that AS Roma have made Udinese starlet Simone Scuffet their number one target.

The 19-year-old has showed a great deal of potential since he was handed a surprise debut at Friuli a year and a half ago, and he went on to make 16 Serie A appearances during the 2013/2014 season.

But, after struggling for playing time last term, Scuffet was loaned to Como, where he has played on regular basis this season.

The talented shot-stopper is now on the radar of AS Roma, who are keen on making the Italy Under-21 international their number one goalkeeper for years to come.
