Tottenham 'could scare Roma' with January bid for Nicolò Zaniolo as contract renewal talks stall... while Serie A outfit boss Jose Mourinho says Italy winger has 'great potential but a great deal to learn'

Tottenham are reportedly keeping tabs on Roma winger Nicolò Zaniolo after talks over a new deal with the Serie A outfit have stalled.

The Italy international's deal with the Giallorossi expires at the end of the 2023-24 season and Roma were eager to extend the contract by a further 12 months.

However, according to Calciomercato.com, initial discussions between the club's hierarchy and the player's representatives have reached an impasse.

That has put Spurs on alert, particularly as Antonio Conte and Tottenham's managing director Fabio Paratici have long been admirers of Zaniolo.
