Roma are set to snap up Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham linked Gregoire Defrel from Sassuolo, with the striker set to be on the club's pre-season trip to the United States.
Defrel starred for Sassuolo in Serie A last season and as a result has been linked with a number of clubs, including Spurs and West Ham.
But it is Roma who have been pressing the accelerator on a swoop for the Frenchman and they are on the verge of succeeding.
According to Italian outlet Calciomercato.it, Defrel is set to sign a contract with Roma either this afternoon or this evening.
And the French striker will leave for the United States by Friday.

It had seemed the 26-year-old could be playing his football in the Premier League in the new campaign, but now he is poised to stay in Serie A and will ply his trade for Roma.
