Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkzee has been linked with a move away from the Premier League club ahead of the winter transfer window.
According to a report by Italian outlet AS Roma Live, Serie A club AS Roma are keen on signing Joshua Zirkzee, and they will compete with Everton and West Ham United for his signature in the winter transfer window.
The 24-year-old Manchester United forward has not been able to impress in the Premier League, and he has been linked with an exit. He might need to leave the club to play regularly. The Netherlands international is a talented player, but he has not been able to adapt to English football so far.
Manchester United have signed Benjamin Sesko as the first-choice striker at the club, and it would be ideal for Zirkzee to move on. Everton and West Ham could be exciting opportunities for the player. Joining either of the two clubs would allow him to continue in the Premier League and prove himself in English football.
Alternatively, the Dutchman could look to return to his comfort zone with AS Roma. He has shown his quality in Italy with Bologna in the past. There is no doubt that he would be an excellent addition for AS Roma. Zirkzee knows the league well and will be able to make an instant impact at the Italian club.
Manchester United to sell Zirkzee?
Meanwhile, it is fair to assume that Manchester United are unlikely to stand in his way. The Dutch attacker is a squad player for them, and they could sanction his departure for the right price. It will be interesting to see if AS Roma, Everton, or West Ham come forward with an official proposal to get the deal done.
The Netherlands international is still quite young, and he will only improve with coaching and experience. He could develop into a top-class player in the future. Sitting on the bench at Manchester United will not benefit him. He should look to take a concrete decision regarding his future and choose his next destination carefully.
West Ham and Everton need to add more depth to the attacking unit, and the 24-year-old could be ideal for them. They will be able to provide him with the opportunities to prove his quality in England. Similarly, AS Roma need attacking depth as well, and the 24-year-old could be the ideal acquisition.
