Roma have rejected an approach from Tottenham for Nicolo Zaniolo, it has been reported.
Tottenham, who are looking to bolster their options in the final few weeks of the season after a busy summer, will reportedly look to bring Zaniolo in as they offload the Argentinian Giovani Lo Celso.
According to The Times, Tottenham stepped up their pursuit of the Italy international by submitting a loan offer with an obligation to buy of £20m. This is said to have been rejected by Roma.
Zaniolo is one of the most highly-rated players in Serie A at present and it is likely that it will take considerably more for the north London club to prize him away from the Italian capital.
