TOP STORY: Roma’s Zaniolo on Magpies, Spurs radar
Newcastle United could look to challenge Tottenham Hotspur for the signature of AS Roma midfielder Nicolo Zaniolo, writes Calciomercato.
It is reported that Zaniolo’s camp has had no recent talks with Roma over a new contract, with the 23-year-old midfielder’s deal set to expire in the summer of 2024. That has seen clubs begin to keep tabs on his situation, after he was linked with a potential exit from the Stadio Olimpico in the summer.
North London is one of the places where he could end up amid interest from Spurs, but Eddie Howe has also identified the Italy international as a potential reinforcement, with the Magpies currently in third place in the Premier League.
Zaniolo has remained a key player in Jose Mourinho’s side this season, having made 17 appearances across all competitions, but the Serie A side could soon need to make a decision if uncertainty begins to surround his future in Italy’s capital.
