Roma are reportedly chasing young Nigerian midfielder Chika Ezeh.

The 23-year-old plays in the less than prestigious Swedish third division and only started his professional career in 2012, but his performances for Skelleftea and previously Valsta Syrianska have alerted not only the Giallorossi, but also Lazio, Sampdoria and Sporting Lisbon.

“Yes, I’d like [to come to Italy], I love Italy,” the youngster told Sky Sport Italia.

“My absolute role model is Fernando Torres, he is my idol and I will never forget his goal against Liverpool.

“I also like [Nwankwo] Kanu and [Stephan] El Shaarawy.”

Ezeh has made a total of 49 appearances in his professional career and has nine goals to his name, seven of which have come this calendar year.
