Spurs Web Opinion
Based on the various reports from Italy so far, it looks like there is interest from us in Zaniolo but Roma are determined to hold on to him. If it is true that we were willing to offer €50million for him, then that is a positive sign as it means that we do have the funds to potentially pull off a big transfer before the end of the window.
