The agent of French goalkeeping starlet Yohann Pelé has revealed that Roma are in pole position to secure the custodian's signature.
Roma are looking for a reliable understudy to Brazilian No 1 Alexander Doni as they don't have complete faith in current reserve Arthur.
Pelé has won widespread acclaim for his performances at Ligue 1 minnows Le Mans and is believed to be a target for a number of European sides, including the Giallorossi.
While the club have denied that Pelé will be leaving in January, the player's agent sees things differently.
“Roma are interested and there are also Spanish, English and German teams tracking him,” Duro Ivanisevic told LaRoma24.it.
“The Lupi have been monitoring his progress since even before the last transfer window.
“There certainly won't be a renewal with Le Mans and so in January he will move on.
“Within a few weeks, the destination will be revealed, but at this stage it will most likely be Roma.
“I think Yohann is ready for Italian football and for a big European club like the Giallorossi and so they are our first choice.”
