Ashley Cole’s future at Roma has come under increasing scrutiny after it has emerged that the Giallorossi are considering several replacements for the left back.

The former England international only arrived in the Italian capital in the summer but he has failed to impress in a Roma shirt and was substituted at half time during Roma’s Champions League thrashing from Bayern Munich on Tuesday evening.

Walter Sabatini, Roma’s sporting director has drawn up a shortlist of players to replace Cole, according to La Gazzetta dello Sport.

Adriano of Barcelona, Newcastle United’s Davide Santon, and Matteo Darmian of Torino are all attracting his attention.

However, an easier target is Fiorentina’s Manuel Pasqual. The Viola captain has a contract expiring in July and Sabatini believes that he could be available for a reduced fee in January.
