<strong>Arsenal striker Gervinho has completed his move to Serie A club AS Roma for an undisclosed fee.</strong>

Enzo Fernandez wants to leave Chelsea

Man Utd set to hold contract talks with experienced star

The 26 year old Ivory Coast international moved to the Emirates in 2011 after a successful campaign for Lille as he helped them to their first ever Ligue 1 triumph in 56 years.<br />

Gervinho, however, struggled to live up to the expectations in his first season at the London club and could only manage 4 goals in all competitions.<br />

His second season was only relatively better as he scored 7 times for the Gunners helping them to a finish inside the top four.&nbsp;<br />

Manager Arsene Wenger has decided to get rid of the inconsistent winger as he attempts to free off funds to bring in fresh faces this summer.&nbsp;<br />

Roma have been proactive this summer as they aim to rebuild their squad and have already signed Dutch midfielder Kevin Strootman from PSV Eindhoven.<br />

A statement on the official of website of Arsenal read: "Everyone at Arsenal would like to thank Gervinho for his contribution to the club and wish him well for his future career."
