The window is still opened for clubs in other leagues until September 2nd and can still improve on their squad by bringing in new players.

As a result Italian Serie A club,  AS Roma have decided to bring in Chelsea’s Zappacosta on loan for the new season. The Italian international joined the Blues from Torino in 2017, but has struggled to impress at the club.

Zappacosta leaving also will enable the club to meet Premier League andf Champions League quota for the number of foreign players a club can have.
