Evan Ferguson is on the brink at Roma, with the Giallorossi moving closer to landing a second attacker this week.
Following on from the signing of Robinho Vaz from Marseille on a permanent deal, the capital club are about to announce a deal for Donyell Malen.
Italian press reports have indicated that the Dutch striker touched down in Rome on Wednesday with a medical and final talks to take place before he joins Roma on an initial loan deal, with an option to buy.
It has been said that a €28 million transfer will be triggered if Gian Piero Gasperini’s team qualifies for European football next season (except Conference League).

Where does Evan Ferguson stand at Roma?
That is a question the player will be seeking answers to.
Co. Meath-native Ferguson has endured a stop-start time in the Eternal City to date, with progress stunted by inconsistency and strong criticism from Gasperini, but now he has a minor back injury to deal with.
Republic of Ireland international striker Ferguson has scored and won the Man of the Match award twice in his last four Serie A games, but it remains uncertain if Roma are going to stand by the 21-year-old.
With Robinho Vaz arriving at Roma and Malen set to follow, you would assume the Irishman is pushed down the pecking order.
Beyond Evan Ferguson, Argentine star Paulo Dybala and Ukrainian Artem Dovbyk are also vying for a place in the team, so it is clear that something has to give.
Many clubs are monitoring Ferguson’s situation
While Danny Murphy’s leftfield suggestion of Ferguson going to Wrexham is unlikely to come to fruition, the player and his representatives will need to consider their options.
He has stated he wants to work hard and progress in Rome, but there is no point sticking around if he is not going to play.
Brighton and Hove Albion are Ferguson’s parent club, but it is up to Roma to terminate the loan agreement if he is to move on this month.
Other clubs, including Everton, have been credited with interest, while Napoli could offer a different route to stay in Serie A.
