Tottenham are reportedly interested in a move for Roma playmaker Nicolo Zaniolo.

According to Tuttosport, Spurs are ready to table an offer of around £43million to snap up the attacking midfielder in the summer.

The report details that the North London club are rivalling Manchester City and Juventus for the 19-year-old’s signature.

Zaniolo is a versatile ace that can be used in a central role, but has also been extremely effective out wide recently.

The Italy international is a rising 19-year-old talent that is beginning to make quite the impression at Roma in their first team and he could be a genius addition for Spurs.

He’s made 33 senior appearances across all competitions this term, scoring six goals and supplying two assists in return.

Spurs could be onto the next big thing with target Zaniolo, which is why his £43million price may be a good investment.

He also looks like he could be an upgrade on current Spurs winger Erik Lamela on the right flank.

Lamela, 27, has had some brilliant moments in a Spurs shirt since he joined in 2013, but ultimately is injury prone and has been quite inconsistent.

Zaniolo is an upcoming star that could be a great weapon for Mauricio Pochettino’s side if they signed him and he already looks on pair with Lamela in terms of ability.
