Crystal Palace and Watford Facing Competition From Italian Clubs After Enquiries for Roma Striker

AS Roma have been on the receiving end of multiple enquiries over the availability of striker Gregoire Defrel this summer.

According to Italian news outlet Calciomercato (H/T Sport Witness), Genoa, Sampdoria and Torino are among several clubs looking to sign the attacker ahead of next season.

Premier League sides Crystal Palace and Watford are also said to be interested in the 27-year-old Frenchman and have also reportedly reached out with the aim of getting Defrel on their books.

The French forward only joined Roma last year, joining from Sassuolo in August after a two-year spell at the Stadio Enzo Ricci.
