Experienced striker Marco Delvecchio looks set to leave Roma in January.

Experienced striker Marco Delvecchio looks set to leave Roma in January.

The wily front man will have no shortage of offers and there could even be interest from Premiership clubs in his services.

Speculation from the Italian capital is insisting that Delvecchio does not feel he has the full confidence of Giallorossi coach Luigi Delneri.

The 31-year-old has been playing Serie A football since 1992 and may feel the time is right for a change.

He missed Sunday's match against Parma with Delneri explaining the forward's absence was due to tactical reasons even though it is suspected that the player has fallen out with his boss.

Brescia lead the chase for the former Internazionale attacker, as they could be prepared to offer a six-month loan deal to Roma, but other teams, including those from abroad, are expected to join the race.
