Roma winger Cengiz Under has hinted that he would be interested in playing alongside David Silva at Manchester City.

The Turkish international has been linked with the likes of Arsenal and Tottenham in recent months, but the 21-year-old says he would love the chance to play with the Spaniard:

“The one player I really like watching and admire is David Silva. I used to watch his videos often and I like his playing style very much. I love him, so I hope we can play together someday!”

Reports suggest that Under has been considered by the Gunners as a possible option to strengthen out wide, and Roma are said to be prepared to sell for around €40m (£34m).

The Giallorossi are making contingency plans if they fail to qualify for the Champions League next season, and with the Turkish star one of their prized assets, he could be sacrificed to balance the books.

Roma currently sit fifth in Serie A, just one point off AC Milan who are in the last Champions League place. They will, however, face competition from city rivals Lazio and Atalanta who are both within two points of the top four.
