They invested in Artem Dovbyk and also brought in Evan Ferguson on loan, but Gian Piero Gasperini was not satisfied with what he had been offered. There was no cutting edge, no ruthlessness — simply not enough goals. At the Olimpico last January, the idea emerged of bringing in Donyell Malen on a paid loan from Aston Villa. A purchase option was agreed, and it soon became obvious: he was the one. The Olimpico would be his new home. There was absolutely no question about whether he would be signed permanently. He simply had to be. In his first five Serie A appearances, he was almost as productive as the great Gabriel Batistuta. Only Donyell Malen, alongside Batigol, had scored more than five goals for Roma in Serie A during that period. He continued to torment opposing defenses and goalkeepers, and now, after Roma exercised their option to sign him for 25,000,000 euros, he has carried on where he left off. He scored a hat-trick against Fiorentina, and today he added two against Lecce in..

A happy and satisfied Gian Piero Gasperini at the end of August is either breaking news or the exception that proves the rule. The Roma coach made no secret of his satisfaction with the signings that have arrived, but in order not to completely dismantle the image he has built over decades, he had to point out that two more reinforcements are still needed — and then everything will be in place. Respecting the unwritten rule that the word “Scudetto” should never actually be uttered, Gasperini came up with the creative formula: “We can achieve something even greater than third place. We are still missing one more striker, but the winning mentality is already there”. Roma have lost just once in their last 20 matches at the Via del Mare, and that defeat came 14 and a half years ago. In Lecce, the Romans have recorded 11 wins and eight draws in addition to that defeat. Roma have had the better of their hosts in each of their last four visits to Puglia and, remarkably, have not conceded a go..
