Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly ready to rival Arsenal in the race to sign Roma youngster Nicolo Zaniolo.

Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly identified Roma youngster Nicolo Zaniolo as a potential summer signing.

Mauricio Pochettino is expected to be active in the next transfer window after a quiet 18 months, and it has previously been suggested that the Argentine will have £60m at his disposal.

According to the Daily Mail, Pochettino may be prepared to allocate a significant chunk of that on Italian prospect Zaniolo.

The 19-year-old has established himself as a key part of Roma's squad, with the attacker contributing six goals and two assists from 31 outings in Serie A and the Champions League.

Arsenal have been linked with a move for Zaniolo, but Spurs may be better placed to launch a bid in the region of £35m for the player's signature.

Zaniolo still has over four years remaining on his contract at the Stadio Olimpico.
