Former Gunner signs new deal at Roma

Roma striker Gervinho has signed a one-year contract extension with the club, according to Sky Sports.

The Ivory Coast international, who joined the Serie A giants from Arsenal last summer, has signed the new deal which will be due to expire in the summer of 2018.

Gervinho was impressive for the Capital outfit last season as he scored nine goals in 33 games, and his excellent form has been rewarded with an extra year in the contract.

Roma host CSKA Moscow in their return to the Champions League on Wednesday night.
