Key Takeaways:
- Leeds and West Ham targeted Roma striker Artem Dovbyk
- Roma set €32m price tag, eye Nikola Krstovic as replacement
- Leeds to move for Dovbyk after other targets proved too expensive
Roma striker Artem Dovbyk is a transfer target for English sides Leeds and West Ham, claims La Gazzetta dello Sport. The Rome club are willing to part ways with the Ukrainian forward for no less than €32 million, so they can reinvest in his replacement. The first option is Montenegro striker Nikola Krstovic from Lecce, valued by his club at €30–35 million. Last season, Dovbyk made 45 appearances for Roma in all competitions, scoring 17 goals and providing 4 assists.

Roma signed Dovbyk a year ago from Girona for €38.5 million. However, he did not meet the high expectations, and the club are now open to selling him. Leeds had been looking to sign Fulham’s Brazilian striker Rodrigo Muniz, but the £47 million (almost €55 million) price tag put them off and shifted their interest towards Dovbyk.
