Zaniolo has been regarded as one of the brightest
young talents in the last few years, but horrific injuries have halted his
progress so far. The Italian missed the whole of the 2020/2021 season but
managed to feature in 28 league games last campaign.
According to the Express,
Manchester United have previously shown an interest in the 22-year-old, as Erik
ten Hag plans to rebuild his squad this summer.
However, another Premier League has entered the race
to sign him, with Angelo Mangiante from Sky Sports claiming Tottenham have
initiated contact with Roma for the signing of Zaniolo, as seen in the tweet
below.
Antonio Conte is looking to add more firepower to
his attack this summer, as he prepares for Champions League football. Due to
the hectic schedule and improved opposition that comes with playing in the
competition, there’s no doubt Tottenham will need a deeper and more competitive
squad.
Zaniolo will offer versatility to Tottenham’s front
line, having played predominantly on the right-hand side of attack, but also in
a number ten role, and has even played through the middle.
Spurs could hold an advantage over Manchester United
due to their Champions League status, but the latter may be able to offer him
more minutes, especially in his favoured position.
