Ventola Wants Lookman At Roma

“I think they’ll try. Lookman can change the team,” Ventola was quoted by Football Italia.

“If you have Lookman on one side and Soulé on the other, then Dovbyk would not struggle that much. I think Gasperini isn’t happy with what he has.

“He’s working, but his objective is to improve the team with more suitable players for his playing style. This is not his team.”
