Gervinho jokingly blamed Francesco Totti for his lack of goals and is sure Roma will buy a top striker “if we finish second.”

The Ivory Coast international spoke to Sky Sport Italia ahead of this weekend’s clash against Milan.

“The race for a Champions League place is spectacular and full of suspense. Roma will go to Milan in order to win.

“Why haven’t I scored as much this year? Because Totti hasn’t given me as many assists,” laughed Gervinho.

He hasn’t quite been the same since returning from the African Cup of Nations, which the Ivory Coast won on penalties.

“I am incredibly happy to have won it. When I returned, I was a bit tired and at that time the whole Roma squad had lost some of its sharpness.”

In recent months the midfielders are scoring most of Roma’s goals, so do they need a top class hitman in the Carlos Tevez or Gonzalo Higuain mould?

“Yes and if we finish second then he will arrive.”
