Roma want to sign West Ham winger Sofiane Feghouli, head coach Luciano Spalletti has confirmed.
Spalletti is keen to add to his squad in January with Roma sitting second in Serie A and he says speculation over his side's chase for the Algeria international is accurate.
Feghouli joined West Ham on a free transfer from Valencia in June, signing a three-year contract, but has only started one Premier League match and missed an open goal in the 5-0 home FA Cup defeat to Manchester City on Friday.
And a loan move for the 27-year-old that includes the option of a €12million permanent switch is now close to completion, according to reports in Italy.
