Salomon Kalou Attracts Interest from AS Roma Amid Arsenal and Tottenham Links
Salomon Kalou’s impressive performances for LOSC this season have not gone unnoticed, with the Ivorian forward drawing the attention of several top European clubs. The 30-year-old has been a key figure in LOSC’s strong campaign in Ligue 1, and his form has reportedly caught the eye of Arsenal, who are in need of attacking reinforcements. However, it seems the London club may face competition from Serie A side AS Roma, who are also keen on securing Kalou’s services for next season.
According to Italian outlet Il Messaggero, Roma manager Rudi Garcia, who previously coached Kalou during his time at Lille, sees the forward as a potential addition to strengthen the Giallorossi’s attacking options. Kalou, a former Chelsea player, has been highly regarded in Italy, and his connection with Garcia is seen as a positive factor in the potential move.
The Ivorian international has enjoyed a solid stint at LOSC since joining in 2012, showcasing his versatility and goal-scoring ability. His performances this season have further cemented his place as one of Ligue 1’s most reliable forwards, which has led to interest from several clubs, including Premier League sides Arsenal and Tottenham.
Despite the competition for his signature, Roma may have an edge over Arsenal and Tottenham. Kalou is reportedly more affordable than his compatriot Didier Drogba, who has also been linked with a move to Roma. This could make Kalou a more attractive option for the Italian club, especially given the financial considerations that often come with high-profile transfers.
Kalou had previously stated his desire to return to the Premier League this summer, but with the interest from Roma growing, it remains to be seen where his future lies. The experienced forward will undoubtedly be a sought-after player during the upcoming transfer window, with both English and Italian clubs vying for his services.
As the season draws to a close, Kalou’s next move remains uncertain, but his strong performances for LOSC ensure that he will be one of the key names to watch in the summer transfer market.
