Tottenham will no longer go for Bale as rumored in recent days. The English club - finalist of the last Champions League - turns the page and focuses all its resources on one of the players who stood out in the last season and, at 20 years old, emerges as one of the future stars not only of the Italian National Team, but of all Europe.
Central midfielder and good with his left foot, the left-footed player from Roma, Nicolo Zaniolo, is the signing that Tottenham will go for before the transfer window closes in the Premier League - on August 8th. According to Corriere dello Sport, the offer is tempting. Although the 'Loba' asks for around 60 million euros for their star, they would accept the proposal from the 'Spurs': 40 million plus the Belgian center-back Toby Alderweireld.
The offer is tempting. The defender is part of the plans of the Italian club for this new season. With only Fazio, Juan Jesús and Mancini, a need arises for a defender who can provide security and experience to that area. The 30-year-old center-back performed well in the last campaign and was one of the key points for Pochettino to reach the final of the most important club tournament in Europe.
On the other hand, Zaniolo has shown that assuming responsibilities at 20 years old does not weigh on him. Despite playing in a deeper position, he scored six goals in the last season and was the central figure for Roma to achieve some of their objectives such as staying in Europe. The midfielder not only has this offer, he is also being watched by Juventus, but the 'Old Lady' will keep an eye on how this Tottenham operation ends.
