TOP STORY: Spurs to beat Juve to Zaniolo?

Tottenham Hotspur are keen on making a move for AS Roma star Nicolo Zaniolo, reports Tuttosport.

With the Premier League club on the lookout for an attacking midfielder, the report says that Spurs boss Antonio Conte has identified the 23-year-old as his priority target in that position.

Zaniolo is currently on the radar of Juventus, but Spurs director Fabio Paratici will meet with representatives from Roma for talks over a potential deal in the region of €45 million.

The Italy international's preference is to remain in Serie A if he leaves the Estadio Olimpico this summer, but with an agreement yet to be reached with the Bianconeri, as well as the chance for Jose Mourinho to avoid sending one of his star players to a competitive rival, Spurs are confident that they can swoop in and hijack the deal.

Zaniolo made 28 league appearances for Roma last season and has two years remaining on his contract.
