West Ham target Luca Toni sets sights on Roma to end Bayern Munich misery

27 Dec 2009 - 12:56:55

Bayern Munich striker Luca Toni has set his sights on a return to Serie A with Roma this winter, although a deal has yet to be concluded.
Homeward bound: Toni
The 32-year-old is surplus to requirements at the Bundesliga club, whoare even considering letting the World Cup winner leave on a freetransfer, and Roma are one of the sides interested in signing him.
And Toni favours a move back to Italy, where he can put himself back in the shop window for a place in Italy's World Cup squad next summer.
'Nothing is certain yet but I want to move to AS Roma and I will do it,' he told La Gazzetta dello Sport newspaper.
Since Roma are listed on the Italian stock exchange, a transfer can only be completed when the financial details are revealed to shareholders and this may currently be preventing the Italian club from announcing the deal, which should go through in early January.
Toni has fallen out with Bayern coach Louis van Gaal and is no longer required by the Dutchman. West Ham 2 Portsmouth 0: Zola's all smiles after Hammers pummel PompeyWest Ham set to snub former Birmingham City owners David Gold and David Sullivan WEST HAM UNITED FC

  we need to bring in a goal scorer to compliment carlton cole. cole does a lot of hard work but we dont have a natural goal scorer to put away the chances we are creating. if we dont address this problem in january and keep our key players in january, then i think we are going to have a long second half to the season. the priority should be staying in the premiership and anything else should be put on the shelf until the season is over.
