Premier League club Aston Villa have had an approach for AS Roma forward Gervinho rebuffed by the Italian capital outfit, according to Corriere dello Sport via a report from Sky Sports.
The former Arsenal forward is a wanted man in Villa manager Tim Sherwood’s books but it is believed the Birmingham-based outfit’s £10m offer was not high enough for Roma to consider.
The 28-year-old’s previous stint in the Premier League was with Arsenal, whom he joined in the summer of 2011 but after two less-than-impressive years in north London, he was moved to Rome.
