Since officially taking the reins at the club, Eriksson has brought in Italian Rolando Bianchi, Swiss Gelson Fernandes, Bulgarian Martin Petrov and Brazilian midfielder Geovanni.

Additionally, striker Valeri Bojinov and left-back Javi Garrido are the next players poised to be unveiled.

Bresciano is believed to be the next target, with initial enquiries surrounding his availability first arising during the Asian Cup.

The Serie A man’s ability to play both wide or as an attacking midfielder are said to be the reasons behind Eriksson’s interest.
