Roma have identified Jamie Gittens as a possible option as they continue their search for a left winger. <\/strong><\/p>\n Roma interest in Jamie Gittens follows Chelsea\u2019s \u00a3117million signing of Morgan Rogers, which has increased competition for attacking places under Xabi Alonso.<\/p>\n Corriere dello Sport reports that Gittens could become an alternative if Chelsea decide to make him available. Roma are also considering Antonio Nusa, although RB Leipzig\u2019s valuation is understood to be between \u20ac55million and \u20ac60million.<\/p>\n Gittens joined Chelsea from Borussia Dortmund last summer but endured an interrupted first season because of muscular injuries. The 21-year-old struggled to establish himself as a regular starter and now faces further competition within Alonso\u2019s squad.<\/p>\n Rogers can operate from the left, while Pedro Neto and Est\u00eav\u00e3o also provide wide options. Chelsea have already allowed Alejandro Garnacho to join Aston Villa on loan, but another departure could depend on Alonso\u2019s assessment during pre-season.<\/p>\n Gittens has been included in Chelsea\u2019s initial 27-man squad for their tour of Australia and Asia. ReadChelsea covered the confirmed travelling group, with the winger selected alongside Liam Delap and Jo\u00e3o Pedro.<\/p>\n His inclusion suggests an exit is not currently advanced. Chelsea can still listen to proposals later in the window if Gittens\u2019 route to regular minutes becomes limited.<\/p>\n Roma want another winger before the start of their season and may consider a temporary agreement if their preferred targets prove too expensive. However, Corriere dello Sport does not report any formal talks with Chelsea at this stage.<\/p>\n Roma interest in Jamie Gittens gives Chelsea another attacking decision to make. Alonso will first have the opportunity to assess the winger during the club\u2019s overseas tour.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Roma have identified Jamie Gittens as a possible option as they continue their search for…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":21151,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[4],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-21150","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chelsea"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21150","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=21150"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21150\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/21151"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=21150"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=21150"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/playball.com.ng\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=21150"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Roma interest in Jamie Gittens leaves Chelsea with decision<\/h2>\n
