Country gent chasing love (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oman

'country' is the definition.
(Oman is an example)

'gent chasing love' is the wordplay.
'gent' becomes 'man' (**).
'chasing' says to put letters next to each other.
'love' becomes 'o' (In tennis, 'love' means 'zero').
'man' after 'o' is 'OMAN'.

(Other definitions for oman that I've seen before include "Arab country" , "Arabian country, capital Muscat" , "Sultanate on the south-east coast of the Arabian Peninsula" , "Sultanate in southwest Asia" , "Land" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
