Everton’s Dutch player John Heitinga has admitted to being open to a move to Roma in the January transfer window.

The 30 year old has recently lost his place in the Toffee’s starting line-up and has six months left on his current contract also claimed there is interest from a host of Serie A clubs.

"There is nothing official," Heitinga said of the talk of a move to Italy.

"My contract expires in June, and there are many chances for me to leave Everton."

"Roma? I heard a lot about their interest. I think we should know something more concrete next week,” he added.

"I'm waiting too. I have played in Spain and England, and I'd also try the Italian experience.”

"There are a few Serie A teams interested in me; I'm waiting for official news from my agents.”

"Roma are one of the best teams there are in Italy; if the interest is serious, we'll talk for sure within the next few days."
