Roma director Walter Sabatini holds Gervinho talks?

Roma director Walter Sabatini has been reportedly spotted arriving in London this morning in an effort to force through a deal for Arsenal forward Gervinho.

New Giallorossi coach Rudi Garcia has targeted a reunion with the Ivory Coast winger this summer, with Arsenal turning down an initial offer of around £6.2m last month.

Sabatini has reportedly been filmed meeting representatives from Arsenal in the English capital today by Sky Sport Italia, as talks continue over a potential summer switch.

Arsenal are believed to be holding out for a fee closer to £7m and are open to selling a player who has spent two inconsistent seasons at the Emirates Stadium.

Roma have been busy this summer, signing 11 players including Maicon, Kevin Strootman and Tin Jedvaj.
