Tottenham still interested in AS Roma star Nicolo Zaniolo
Tottenham are still interested in Italian sensation Nicolo Zaniolo, according to Spanish reports (h/t Calciomercato).
The AS Roma attacker has impressed for the Italians this season and has three goals and two assists so far.
The 20-year-old is an Italy international and can play in several positions across the attack.
Tottenham aren’t the only ones interested in him, with Bayern Munich and Real Madrid also keen on the 20-year-old.
There is interest from Serie A giants Juventus too and director Fabio Paratici watched the Italian in action against AC Milan (h/t Calciomercato).
Zaniolo is the next big thing in Italian football and it will be interesting to see if he leaves Roma.
Do Tottenham need more attacking options?
Spurs were linked with Zaniolo in the summer but the Italian remained with the Serie A side (h/t Express).
Roma aren’t doing too badly at the moment as they lie just one point outside the Champions League spots.
Our season has been poor considering we reached the Champions League final the last time around.
We lost to Liverpool despite taking the lead and have struggled in several games this season too.
Our attack hasn’t been at its best and we could do with Zaniolo joining the side. The Italian could play just behind Harry Kane or can do a job out wide too.

That kind of versatility could help Mauricio Pochettino get the best out of the club, however, Roma need to be open to selling their star too.
