Dominic Calvert-Lewin lined up for incredible transfer to European giant following struggles at Everton
ROMA are interested in signing Everton star Dominic Calvert-Lewin, according to reports.
Jose Mourinho wants a striker to replace the injured Tammy Abraham and he likes the look of Calvert-Lewin.
The Everton ace has experienced injury issues of his own but he would be a like-for-like replacement for Abraham.
According to Roma want to sign Calvert-Lewin on loan with a view to making the move permanent.
It is believed Calvert-Lewin would be open to the switch following the success of other former Premier League stars at Roma, including Abraham and Chris Smalling.
Arsenal were reported to be interested in Calvert-Lewin earlier this year.

That is despite Calvert-Lewin's injury history, with the Everton star making just 17 appearances last season.
Alternatively, Arteta could hand more playing time to Hale End academy graduate Folarin Balogun.
The striker performed well on loan at Stade Reims last season and could be ready to make the step up.
Meanwhile one of Calvert-Lewin's close friends Tom Davies has been training with Bristol Rovers following his release from Everton.
