Zappacosta: I would love to stay at Roma

Davide Zappacosta "would love to stay" at Roma as he nears a return to action following a serious knee injury.

The defender joined the Serie A side on loan from Chelsea in August but had barely featured before rupturing the anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee during a training session.

After a lengthy recovery period, Zappacosta hopes to be involved when the 2019-20 season eventually resumes in Italy, declaring himself to be "90 per cent fit".
