Roma have made an 8 million euro bid for Arsenal misfit Gervinho who spent time at Lille during Rudi Garcia's reign at the French club.


It appears that the club have followed up on their recent interest for the Ivorian and have submitted a formal offer, one which will make the English side contemplate.

The 26 year old has been on the outer at Arsenal with the likes of Theo Walcott, Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud often more preferred over the former Lille man and is set to leave.

Arsenal have left him out of the pre-season tour which signals their intent to sell but Roma may face some competition from Marseille who want him on loan.

With Pablo Osvaldo linked with a move to the likes of Southampton, Manchester City and Zenit, Gervinho could well be in line to be a replacement and also at the same time be reunited with Garcia.

The winger may be able to recapture his form from his Lille days which saw him score 28 goals and make a further 20 assists from 67 league appearances.
