Roma make contact with exciting Dutch midfielder & Everton target

According to reports from Italy, Roma have made contact with the representatives of Ajax midfielder Davy Klaassen. Sky Sport 24 claims that new sporting director Monchi, has targeted that 24-year-old as part of his summer re-vamp at the Stadio Olimpico as coach Luciano Spalletti announces his departure from the Italian capital.
 
Current Sasusolo boss Eusebio Di Francesco is set to replace him at the helm and is also believed to be in favour of the Dutchman heading to the Eternal City. The Giallorossi are just one of several clubs looking to claim his signature with Premier League duo Everton and Tottenham Hotspur also making enquiries as to his availability.
 
Ajax have put a value of £25M on their star midfielder with Toffees boss Ronald Koeman keen to use his contacts in the Netherlands to swing the deal in his favour. The five foot eight inch pocket rocket has scored 50 goals in 162 appearances for the Dutch giants and his performances this season both domestically and in the Europa League have thrust him into the spotlight during the summer transfer window.
