him this summer for a fee around £22 million.

told that his client is likely to stay at Roma despite of interest from top
sides.

Mascardi: “I think he’ll stay at Roma next year. [But] there are two teams in
England who want him and would be willing to pay the fee that Roma did for
him.”
Despite
of his struggling time, he is expected to stay this summer.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is eyeing him as Theo Walcott's replacement as the Englishman is likely to leave Emirates at the end of the season.
