Roma join the race to sign Ireland midfielder Jeff Hendrick


Roma are the latest Italian club to be linked with a move for Republic of Ireland midfielder Jeff Hendrick.

The Dubliner's contract at Burnley is set to expire this summer and AC Milan are also interested, though manager Sean Dyche is keen to keep him at Turf Moor.

"As it is with a lot of players, we try and stay as private as we can with things and it is an important part of what we do to keep the open lines of communication with our players."

"I said early in the season there were players who were very unfortunate not to be playing and he was definitely one of them.

"He's found his way back into the team which if you look at his history under me he does, he finds a way of playing.

"He is delivering and we want a side that has professional enjoyment. Jeff looks like he is enjoying the challenge and enjoying the work, the whole team do."

"The talks are active definitely," Hendrick said earlier this season of his contract situation.

"I have said since I came in that I came in to a great group, I love coming into training every day.

"It is sort of easy with the group we have and I am enjoying my football and I am playing a lot of football.

"The main thing is that you enjoy your football, it is not a long career so you need to make sure you enjoy every minute of it."
