Salomon Kalou, who has been a key player for LOSC this season in the French Ligue 1, has attracted interest from Arsenal. However, AS Roma has emerged as a potential competitor in the race to sign the Ivorian international.
According to reports from the Il Messaggero website, Roma coach Rudi Garcia has identified Kalou as a target to bolster the team’s attacking options for the upcoming season. Kalou is reportedly on a shortlist of targets drawn up by Garcia, who previously worked with him during their time together at Lille.
Kalou’s familiarity with Garcia’s coaching style and his affordability compared to other targets, such as Didier Drogba, make him an attractive option for Roma. Despite Kalou expressing his desire to return to the Premier League, Roma’s interest could sway his decision, especially with the opportunity to reunite with his former coach in Italy.
