Nicolò Zaniolo has been restricted to less than 90 minutes of time on the pitch with AS Roma this month and Calciomercato reported he could consider a move away from the Serie A side in January.
It was also explained the 22-year-old is not lacking suitors, ‘especially in England’, where Tottenham Hotspur are in the mix. The north London club ‘like’ his profile.
Spurs having their sights on the Italy international is backed up by Quotidiano.net. They say Antonio Conte ‘wants’ his compatriot at the Premier League club.
The midfielder is yet to score a goal or register an assist in the league this season, and that’s partly why he has dropped down the pecking order at Roma. Meanwhile, the English side’s interest ‘becomes strong and stronger’.
Conte has identified Zaniolo as a target for next summer and the ex-Inter Milan manager, along with Fabio Paratici, could soon prepare a plan to acquire his services.
It’s claimed a ‘talent like that of the attacking midfielder would greatly enrich’ Spurs’ squad, and their manager would be delighted to take advantage of the Italian’s situation at the Stadio Olimpico.
Despite Conte wanting José Mourinho’s man, the report states transfer rumours don’t seem to scare Roma at the moment. That’s because the topic of Zaniolo’s playing time is ‘not a problem’ for the Giallorossi.
