Roma try for Sosa

Journalists have reported that the Giallorossi are interested in the Croatian left-back, who has previously been linked with Serie A rivals Inter and Sampdoria.

The 21-year-old has played 10 league matches for Stuttgart this term, contributing one goal and two assists at the second tier in Germany.

According to Sky Sport Italia, the young defender has been targeted as a cheap solution to help relieve Kolarov and the Serbian could help the talented Borna to develop at the Olimpico.

If Leonardo Spinazzola will complete his move to Inter, Paulo Fonseca will need reinforcements at the back and rumours claim they will put in a bid for the Croatia U21 starlet.
