Agent Beppe Bozzo revealed Simone Perrotta’s Lyon interest was all paper talk, but hinted Arsenal are close to Alessandro Rosina.
After Christmas there were reports that Roma star Perrotta was targeted by Olympique Lyonnais to join fellow 2006 World Cup winner Fabio Grosso.
“I haven’t spoken to anyone,” agent Bozzo told Goal.com. “Perrotta is very happy at Roma and intends to end his career at that club.”
However, the representative was less than categorical when asked about reports that Torino are ready to sell Rosina to Arsenal in January.
“I’d prefer not to comment on that,” was his only response.
Rosina has been increasingly unsettled at Toro and the return of Coach Walter Novellino has not improved matters.
The versatile player can act as a trequartista behind the strikers or wide in midfield, while he is famed for his free kicks.
Nicknamed Rosinaldo because of a Brazilian flair he brings to the game, this is not the first time that the shaven-headed starlet has been linked with Arsenal.
