Roma are hoping to steal a march on number of Premier League clubs by lining up a move for Dnipro's Yevhen Konoplyanka.
Reports in Italy claim Roma plan to hold talks with the player's father and agent to discuss a possible move for the Ukraine international.
Konoplyanka is out of contract next summer and has yet to agree a new deal at Dnipro.
The 25-year-old winger has been a long-term target for several Premier League clubs with the likes of Liverpool, Tottenham and West Ham all credited with holding an interest in the talented forward in the last 18 months.
However, Roma are hoping to win the race for Konoplyanka's signature by stepping up their interest before the new year.
