According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the Giallorossi have chosen Promes, the 25-year-old Spartak Moscow winger.

He arrived from FC Twente in 2014 for €11.5m and the price-tag is believed to be in the region of €25m.

Promes scored 12 goals with 10 assists in 26 Russian Premier League games last season.

The current campaign has already started and he has five goals in seven competitive appearances.
