#3 Juventus speed up interest in Roma midfielder
Tottenham Hotspur were linked with a move for Roma midfielder Nicolo Zaniolo as they looked to strengthen their midfield, ahead of the new season. The Premier League side were keen on the Italian, however, that interest has recently cooled down as Spurs have turned their attention towards Giovani Lo Celso of Real Betis and Sporting CP's Bruno Fernandes.
Following Tottenham's indecision, Juventus have accelerated their interests in the Italian and are looking to seal a deal as soon as possible. Zaniolo made 36 appearances for AS Roma last season, scoring six goals and registering two assists. Still only 19 years old, he has a bright future ahead of him and already looks a settled player. Zaniolo has great dribbling skills and can play either as an attacking midfielder or a right forward, and is quite effective in both roles.
Tottenham had previously submitted a £40 million bid before turning their attention elsewhere. However, Juventus are apparently more interested in a player plus cash deal for Zaniolo.
