Nicolò Schira says there’s Spurs interest in Roma’s Nicolò Zaniolo, is he any good?|video

This is a curious Spurs transfer rumour for a number of reasons, primarily because the player in question is for an area of the pitch Tottenham are already oversubscribed.

Looking at Nicolò Zaniolo’s all-time heat map, the obvious current Spurs players at risk from such an acquisition would be Dele Alli and Lucas Moura.

The figure quoted by Schira is some €50million, which is nigh on €10million over the valuation by asroma360 and others.

That said, is the boy actually any good? I see ‘Erik Lamela II: But this time he’s dearer.’
