Roma have reportedly sent scouts to view Newcastle United right-back Danny Simpson with an eye on a January move.

The 25-year-old will be out of contract in the summer, though the Magpies are not eager to release him mid-season.

There is also thought to be competition from Watford, but Roma would provide a new experience in Serie A with all-attack Coach Zdenek Zeman.

According to Calciomercato.it, the Giallorossi have already sent talent scouts to view Simpson in a few games this term.
