According to The Guardian, AS Roma have told Tottenham Hotspur that Nicolo Zaniolo is not for sale this summer.

Tottenham reportedly want to sign the 21-year-old attacking midfielder in the summer transfer window, but the North London outfit have been told that Roma have no intention of selling the Italy international – described by Real Madrid star Luka Modric as ‘a pure talent’ to Gazzetta dello Sport in June (click here to read more).

Disappointment for Tottenham Hotspur

Zaniolo is one of the best and most promising young attacking players in Europe, and there is no surprise that Tottenham reportedly want him.

With Christian Eriksen having left Spurs in the January transfer window, Jose Mourinho’s side could do with a creative player with vision in attack.

However, Roma’s reported stance of not selling the 21-year-old means that Spurs are set to face disappointment in their quest to secure his services this summer.

Boost in Callum Wilson chase

Meanwhile, Tottenham have received a boost in their reported chase of Bournemouth striker Callum Wilson.

According to The Telegraph, the striker has told his Bournemouth teammates that he needs to stay in the Premier League to enhance his chances of playing for England in the European Championship next summer.

The Cherries have been relegated to the Championship, and the 28-year-old reportedly wants to move on.

According to Sky Sports, Tottenham are among a number of clubs who are interested in the England international.
