Tottenham will 'step up their pursuit of Roma's attacking midfielder Nicolo Zaniolo as they look to beat Juventus to his signature'... and the Italian has a chance to impress Antonio Conte in a pre-season friendly on Saturday

Tottenham are looking to push forward in their pursuit of Roma's attacking midfielder Nicolo Zaniolo, according to reports.

Antonio Conte will have a chance to get a closer look at the 23-year-old on Saturday when his side face former Spurs boss Jose Mourinho's Roma in a pre-season friendly as both sides draw closer to the end of their summer preparations.

But Conte will know that his side are under pressure to finalise a deal soon, with Juventus strong suitors for the Italian's signature, and will hope that director Fabio Paratici can thrash out a deal with his Giallorossi counterpart Tiago Pinto when the sides meet in Israel.
