Jeremie Frimpong on Roma transfer list but Celtic's asking price 'too high'

Roma are planning a potential bid for Celtic defender Jeremie Frimpong - but need the Hoops to lower their asking price, according to a report.

The Serie A giants want to sign a new right back and Frimpong is highly-rated, but Celtic's asking price of €15million (£13.7m) is too much for them.

Gazetta dello Sport say Paolo Francesca is a big fan of the defender and will hold talks with the Roma hierarchy about potentially doing a deal for the former Man City youngster.

Frimpong has been a sensation since moving north of the border and being afforded an opportunity in the first team, and has made 27 appearances in all competitions this season.

His only goal of the campaign came on the opening day of the season and the 20-year-old has struggled at times, like the whole of Neil Lennon's team.

But Roma are still big fans of his and the report states that he's one of three players who are on the wanted list for I Giallorossi.

They are also looking at FC Dallas kid Bryan Reynolds and Becir Omeragic of FC Zurich.
