Feyenoord aim for Serie A swoop after Meijerโ€™s failed transfer

Feyenoord are banking on the arrival of Anass Salah-Eddine. The AS Roma left-back will be loaned to Rotterdam after Bjorn Meijerโ€™s transfer fell through, according to Voetbal International.

The club from De Kuip have reportedly already expressed their interest in the 23-year-old to AS Roma, while according to insiders, the player has also had initial conversations with head coach Robin van Persie.

Salah-Eddine swapped FC Twente for Roma in January. The deal was worth around 10 million euros at the time, yet he hasnโ€™t featured much in Italy so far.

Feyenoord are searching for a left-back following the transfer of Quilindschy Hartman to Burnley and the return of loanee Hugo Bueno to his parent club, Wolverhampton Wanderers. Currently, Gijs Smal remains the only left-back in the Rotterdam squad, after the transfer of Bjorn Meijer fell through.

Salah-Eddine fits Feyenoordโ€™s profile, now that manager Van Persie has expressed a preference for Dutch players.
