‘Nothing true’ – Source ‘categorically denies’ talks with Tottenham and that move is close

For the past few months, Tottenham Hotspur have been credited with interest in Nicolò Zaniolo.

Spurs faced AS Roma in a pre-season friendly tie in Israel at the end of July.

Radio Radio editorial director Ilario Di Giovambattista said this tie was decisive for Antonio Conte to fall in love with the winger again. Reports even stated the 23-year-old is a step away from joining Tottenham this summer.

Romagiallorossa.it have relayed these two claims and provide their own information on this case.

A source close to the Italy international ‘categorically denies’ claims about the negotiations between José Mourinho’s side and Tottenham over his potential transfer. The website also states there is ‘nothing true’ about claims of the attacker being one step away from Spurs.

With regards to Zaniolo’s future plans, the report insists the player seems to be staying with the Giallorossi, regardless of Tottenham interest.

Zaniolo’s desire to stay at Roma would make it difficult for Conte’s side to carry out his signing this summer.
