The 23-year-old has been in impressive form for Roma since breaking into the first team in 2018, and has quickly established himself as one of the most promising young talents in Italian football.
Nicolo Zaniolo is widely regarded as one of the brightest prospects in European football. He is a versatile inside forward, capable of playing in a number of different positions, and has a keen eye for goal.
The talented Roma forward was heavily linked with a move to Tottenham in the summer. However, that move never happened and now the club still remain interested in signing Roma forward. But Spurs are not the only Premier League sides vying for his signature. Arsenal are reportedly interested in signing Nicolo Zaniolo and could soon formulate a proposal for the 23-year-old attacker.
Zaniolo’s contract situation with Roma is not ideal and this is one of the main reasons he might be available in January. He has a deal until 2024 and the two parties are unable to reach an agreement over a new deal.
Booed by his own fans, it seems to be getting ugly for the 23-year-old in Rome. Arsenal is one of the options he has. Let’s see where he ends up by the end of this transfer window.
