Leyton Orient chairman Francesco Becchetti in Italy shopping for new signings

Leyton Orient chairman Francesco Becchetti is shopping in Italy to boost his flagging squad.

After confirming the appointment of Mauro Milanese as new manager, Becchetti now aims to strengthen the League One squad with a series of Italian signings.

Bologna defender Cesare Natali is Orient's top target. The 35 year-old comes off contract at the end of this season.

TMW says 34 year-old former AS Roma and Reggina midfielder Giuseppe Colucci is another target for Becchetti.

And for attack, the Orient chairman aims to sign 25 year-old Prato striker Oussama Essabr. Moroccan Essabr came through the youth system at Juventus.
