Chelsea have been strongly linked with a January move for World Cup winner and Roma attacker Paulo Dybala but transfer expert Fabrizio Romano doesn’t expect a transfer to happen.

The Argentina international has had a fine career with Juventus, Roma and Palermo in Serie A, and it would undoubtedly be exciting to see him test himself in the Premier League at some point, though it seems that’s not close to happening for the moment.

Romano told Caughtoffside: “Despite rumours about Chelsea, I see Dybala staying at Roma as things stand. I have no updates, there’s nothing happening as of now and his release clause will expire in four days…so, it looks difficult and unlikely.

“I think Chelsea need a striker more than a top quality all-round attacking player like Dybala.”
