Gasperini insists on Roma pursuing Zirkzee Joshua Zirkzee continues to be one of Gian Piero Gasperini’s favorite names for Roma’s new attack. The Dutch striker was already the first name mentioned by the coach during the January transfer window, with the hope of completing the deal in the early days of the winter transfer window. Now the pressure is on again.
Much, however, will depend on Roma’s Champions League qualification. On Sunday evening in Verona, the Giallorossi will have their destiny in their hands as they return to the most important competition in seven years. As Alfredo Pedullà reports, Gasperini considers Donyell Malen and Zirkzee a perfect pairing in terms of technical and tactical attributes.
Quality, mobility, vision, and attacking ability are the aspects that most convince the coach. With the striker set to leave Manchester United in the coming weeks, Gasperini is reportedly ready to push again to stay ahead of the competition. Roma, in fact, knows they must raise the quality of their squad ahead of next season, especially if they qualify for the Champions League.
