Roma midfielder Nicolo Zaniolo has been linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur this summer.
The 23-year-old is highly rated at the Italian club and it remains to be seen whether they are prepared to sanction his departure before the transfer window closes.
We have covered reports earlier claiming that the midfielder is valued at €50 million (£41.8m) and it would be fair to assume that Spurs will have to get rid of their fringe players before splashing that kind of money on Zaniolo.
According to journalist Santi Aouna, the two clubs are set to hold talks regarding the transfer of the attacking midfielder later this week.
He tweeted, “New discussions planned this week between Roma and Tottenham for Zaniolo.”
It will be interesting to see if they can come to an agreement before the window closes.
Tottenham have assembled an impressive squad but the addition of a quality playmaker could propel them to greater heights in the upcoming season.
Zaniolo has the potential to develop into a top-class Premier League midfielder and a world-class manager like Antonio Conte could help unlock his potential.
Meanwhile, Ruma are keen on adding to their attacking unit this summer. Andrea Belotti is reportedly a target for the Italian giants and it wouldn’t be surprising if they decide to fund his arrival with the proceeds from Zaniolo’s sale.
