Roma Sets Winger Targets With Nusa, Summerville

Why Roma Needs a Speedy Winger

Gian Piero Gasperini has repeatedly stressed the need for an explosive, quick attacker who can beat defenders and unlock games with bursts of acceleration. The Italian club’s recent struggles to generate width have made a pacy winger a priority in the squad planning. Roma’s scouting department is now focusing on two players who fit this profile precisely. Adding such a talent could instantly boost the Giallorossi’s attacking options for the upcoming season.

Antonio Nusa: The Young Norwegian Prospect

Il Romanista has revived Antonio Nusa as a possible first‑choice signing, highlighting the Norwegian’s age and upside compared with other options. He is younger and viewed as more promising than Crysencio Summerville, yet both share similar attributes: sharp dribbling, rapid acceleration, and the ability to create numerical superiority on the left flank. Roma is reportedly prepared to pay around €45 million to Leipzig to secure his services. The player has already agreed a €3.5 million‑per‑season contract, though a final deal with the German club remains pending.

Crysencio Summerville: The Experienced Dutch Option

Meanwhile, the club keeps a backup plan in place, targeting Crysencio Summerville, who is currently on loan at West Ham. The Dutch forward is considered more ready‑to‑use, boasting greater experience and a fully developed skill set. He still delivers the speed, dribbling and one‑on‑one attacking ability that Gasperini seeks. Keeping Summerville in the picture gives Roma flexibility if the Nusa negotiations stall or if additional depth is required.

Transfer Outlook and Next Steps

Roma’s dual‑track approach signals a careful balance between long‑term potential and immediate availability. Securing Nusa would bring a younger talent with upside, while Summerville offers a proven option for the current campaign. The €45 million price tag shows the club’s willingness to invest in a player who can change match dynamics. Should both deals materialise, the Giallorossi could significantly strengthen their winger depth ahead of the new season.
