Good signing for Spurs
In our view, AS Roma star Nicolo Zaniolo would be a good signing for Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window and would make the North London club better and more potent.
The Italian playmaker has had injury problems in recent times, but he is now fit and playing well.

Last season, the playmaker scored two goals and gave two assists in 23 Serie A starts, and scored six goals and provided two assists in 16 league starts in 2019-20.
