There has been no interest in Zaniolo from Spurs
Where is this from?

I'd prefer Chiesa also, but Fiorentina want upward of £100m. I really don't get these inflated prices - to me, no-one is worth the pathetic values banded around nowadays - but I would certainly put him at the top end of desired players.Prefer Chiesa from Fiorentina. He's gonna be world class.
Don't know much about this lad though. A lot of money to be splurging on a relative kid from Serie A. His stats aren't fantastic and not many from Italy have shone in the Premier League. Lamela prime example.
Interesting you say that, because I have to say I'm not totally convinced he will be.
To be doing that well at his age shows he has talent, but against the very best I don't think he'll get the time on the ball he needs when in possession, and when running off it, his pace could be an issue.
Time will tell, he's certainly got plenty of talent, but I can't quite make my mind up about him - probably because he doesn't naturally fit into any modern player archetype, so more difficult for me to make a direct comparison.
I think this link feels unlikely though and if I were him I'd stay in Italy a little longer
Ron i’m conflicted now. I’ve just watched a YouTube video of Paulinho playing for Corinthians and he looks to have real world class potential. Possibly a Brazilian Frank Lampard. I’m thinking we should sign him instead of Zaniolo and Lo Celso?It looks like Lo Celso is a replacement for Eriksen should he leave. I also think that one of Zaniolo or Ceballos would be an additional AM. Its possible that one of Zaniolo or Ceballos would come in any case,Eriksen or no Eriksen and that Lo Celso is purly coming after the Eriksen situation is sorted.
Havent seen much of either Z or C but from what Ive seen I like Zaniolo the way he takes a game on

Could be the u21 player Herc referred to (as could many others!!!)

It was stressed that the young player was 'well under' 21, so likely a 16 to 18 year old than Zaniolo, who is 20.
I think he also said he wasn't in the media and Zaniolo has been linked all summer.He was 19 when posted if that helps!

Roma believe they are close to a breakthrough in their bid for a cash-plus-player deal to land Tottenham ’s Toby Alderweireld.
The Italians have made the Belgian defender a top target for this window but can’t afford to trigger his £25million release clause outright.
Spurs, however, are keen on 20-year-old attacking midfielder Nicolo Zaniolo and with the player angling for a pay rise at his club, the north Londoners believe it could work to their advantage.
Sporting director Gianluca Petrachi is understood to have told Zaniolo to prove he is worthy of a better pay packet on the field.
Zaniolo scored six goals last season with only one coming after February.
