Spinazzola, 28, currently plays his domestic football for Serie A side Roma.

Despite remaining an important figure in Roma’s squad, Spinazzola has also excelled on the international stage.
Currently preparing for a tense quarter-final tie against world number one Belgium, the 28-year-old has arguably been one of the Euros’ most impressive performers.
In light of his recent eye-catching displays, it has been noted that Chelsea has asked about the defender’s possible availability.
Although the Blues currently have three left-backs among their ranks – it has been suggested that Thomas Tuchel would like Spinazzola to replace the out-of-favour Emerson.
Real Madrid is also understood to be actively tracking the defender ahead of a possible summer move.
