Spurs transfer news: Tottenham consider bidding €50m for AS Roma’s Nicolo Zaniolo
La Repubblica (h/t Calciomercato) claims that Tottenham have entered the race to sign highly-rated Italian youngster Nicolo Zaniolo.
The newspaper claims that Tottenham are considering a €50m bid as they look to convince Roma to part ways with the 19-year-old.
Zaniolo only joined Roma last season from Inter Milan and has been one of the bright spots for the Serie A side.
The 19-year-old has recorded six goals and two assists so far this season. Zaniolo is capable of playing as a central midfielder but can do a job on the wings too.
The youngster also came on as a sub in two of Italy’s Euro 2020 qualifiers recently.
Several parties interested in Zaniolo
The report claims that Tottenham are looking to complete the deal quickly for the 19-year-old.
Spurs aren’t the only ones interested in the Italian with AC Milan, Real Madrid, Juventus and Arsenal also keeping tabs (h/t Calciomercato).
The Daily Mail reports that Tottenham are interested in making young signings in the summer who can impact the first-team.
Zaniolo seems to fit that bill and the 19-year-old has the potential to improve under Mauricio Pochettino.

Spurs haven’t spent in two transfer windows but that seems set to change in the summer. It will be important for Pochettino to build on a decent season and it could be made even better if we reach the Champions League final.
