Giampaolo Pazzini looks poised to leave Fiorentina after four years during the January transfer window.
A host of clubs are said to be in contention to secure his services but former Gigliati transfer guru Fabrizio Lucchesi believes AS Roma would be an excellent choice.
“He could certainly play for them, as he is a quality player,” Lucchesi told Fiorentinanews.com.
“I reckon that much will depend on the system and the tactics that Luciano Spalletti will employ during [Francesco] Totti’s absence. But Pazzini can totally fit into their squad.”
Lucchesi captured the 24-year-old from Atalanta in 2005, but his stint in Tuscany has been overshadowed by the towering presence of Luca Toni and now Alberto Gilardino.
Sampdoria and Palermo are also allegedly keen to reel him in this month, but Premier League side Everton could join the hunt.
“I feel Pazzini is one of the brightest Italian prospects,” continued Lucchesi. “He can still improve, but he needs to play more in order to mature.
“However, I won’t rule out the possibility of him staying put in Florence, as the transfer market is odd and plans can change overnight.”
