The agent of Everton defender Johnny Heitinga cannot rule out a January move to AS Roma.

Heitinga is being linked with the Giallorossi after Nicolas Burdisso was ruled out for the season with a knee injury.

Fabio Parisi told Calciomercato.it: "It's an option, which was released only in the last few hours, we've had no contact with Roma, not even informal.

"If there is an interest I will speak with (Roma sports director) Walter (Sabatini)."
