AS Roma is setting its sights on the future with well-defined plans.
The club is now under the guidance of Gian Piero Gasperini, who has pinpointed key areas for squad enhancement: boosting attacking capabilities and adding more options for one-on-one situations on the flanks.

One player currently on Roma’s radar is Crysencio Summerville, a winger from West Ham United.
According to TeamTalk, the Dutch player’s profile significantly appeals to Gasperini, who has been an admirer of him for some time.
This interest in Summerville isn’t new; Roma previously explored the possibility of signing him during the winter transfer window but was unable to finalize a deal. An additional factor that could ease negotiations is that he shares the same representation as Malen.
Currently, the scenario could be more favorable for Roma. The club is contemplating a renewed approach, although they understand the challenges ahead. West Ham views Summerville as a key player and is unlikely to let him go without a fight.

The outcome will also hinge on West Ham’s performance in the closing weeks of the season: if they secure their place in the Premier League, they may be less amenable to negotiations, but a potential relegation could alter the dynamics and convert Roma’s interest into a tangible opportunity.
