Roma forward Pablo Osvaldo has insisted that he is "attached" to the club after scoring a hat-trick on Sunday.

The 27-year-old bagged three goals in his side's 4-0 home win against Siena in Serie A that saw them climb up to fifth in the league table.

"I'm happy," Football Italia quotes him as saying. "I was going through a difficult moment. Now I hope things get better.

"I'm really attached to this shirt and I look to prove that. Sometimes I succeed and sometimes I don't.

"I'd like to thank the fans too, even if there is a section who are against me, but 99% of the things said about me are false."

Osvaldo has scored 15 Serie A goals for Roma this season.
