Roma said in a statement that the 21-year-old Sampdoria striker, seen by many as potentially the best Czech player to have emerged for several years, arrived at Rome airport where around 200 fans were waiting for him, according to Italian media. Roma said Schick would "undergo a medical... on Tuesday, as the terms of his transfer from Sampdoria are finalised." Schick was raised at Sparta Prague where he made his professional debut in May 2015. He was then loaned to Bohemians, generally regarded as the third most popular Prague team, and helped them to a modest ninth place in 2015/16. Schick had a medical with Serie A champions Juventus in June but the Turin side subsequently pulled out of the deal.
