Chelsea Transfer News: Moussa Dembele Reportedly Eyed as Roma's Edin Dzeko Heir

AS Roma are reportedly targeting Celtic forward Moussa Dembele as a replacement for Chelsea target Edin Dzeko, and Giallorossi head coach Eusebio Di Francesco has hinted the Italian club is planning for life after their star striker.

Former Manchester City man Dzeko has been fiercely linked with a move back to the Premier League in recent weeks, and the Birmingham Mail's James Rodger reported Dembele is Roma's target for an heir should he leave.

According to the report, Roma sporting director Monchi has tracked the French forward's progress since he was head of transfers at old club Sevilla, whom he left in the summer of 2016.
