Legendary central defender Mats Hummels, currently a free agent, has found a new club.

According to Fabrizio Romano, the German footballer is set to arrive in Italy today for a medical examination and to sign a contract with Roma.

Last season, Hummels made 40 appearances for Borussia Dortmund across all competitions, scoring 4 goals.
