Serie A giants Roma will reportedly sell Robin Olsen and a move to the Premier League could be on the cards with Bournemouth and Watford keen.
Bournemouth have joined the race to sign Roma goalkeeper Robin Olsen this summer, as reported by Calciomercato.
The Swedish international moved to the Stadio Olimpico last summer tasked with replacing one of the world’s very best shot-stoppers – the Liverpool-bound Alisson Becker.
Perhaps unsurprisingly, Olsen has failed to live up to such lofty standards. The former Copenhagen star has been frequently criticised for his displays and endured another nightmare in the weekend’s 4-1 home defeat to Napoli, just days after Roma boss Claudio Ranieri gave his backing to the ‘excellent goalkeeper’.
Tuttomercatoweb claimed that Watford were keen to offer Olsen an escape route but it seems that Bournemouth and Norwich are also interested.
Calciomercatoweb claims that The Cherries and The Canaries are keeping tabs on the 29-year-old. Roma are willing to sell him for £12.8 million with Cagliari’s Alessio Cragno lined up as his successor.
Bournemouth potentially see Olsen as an upgrade on Asmir Begovic, who has been dropped at times by Eddie Howe this season. Norwich, meanwhile, appear to be on their way back to the Premier League but Tim Krul’s performances have been mixed between the sticks.
