da mrbet： According to a new report coming from the Express, Tottenham Hotspur may face some competition from Paris Saint-Germain in their race to land AS Roma’s Nicolo Zaniolo.
What’s the word, then?
Spurs are very much going through a big reshuffle with Jose Mourinho taking over the team.
And if the reports coming from Express are anything to go by, Daniel Levy is ready to open his wallet in January already in order to give his new manager a small boost in his new adventure.

Zaniolo was reportedly a target when Mauricio Pochettino was in charge and the situation hasn’t really changed.
But now, the player has attracted a lot of interest from some other European giants, such as Manchester United, Inter Milan and Paris Saint Germain.
Il Messaggero reported a couple of days back that the French team would even be willing to offer around €60m (£52m) to land the young midfielder.
And judging by the needs of their squad, he might well be worth it.
No one quite like him
To put it in simple terms, Paris Saint-Germain don’t have anyone of Zaniolo’s profile within the squad and an additional attacking midfielder would go a long way to strengthening a sore spot in the squad.
In fact, Adil Aouchiche is the only natural player in that position across the board but with only 17 years on his back and one Ligue 1 appearance so far in the 2019/20, it’s safe to say he’s not yet at the required level.

And of course, with the likes of Mbappe, Neymar and Icardi in the forward line, they have plenty of goalscorers in that department but no one from the midfield offers something similar, which could be a big issue.
The closest they can get are Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting with three strikes and Idrissa Gueye with one.
Zaniolo has already bagged five goals across all competitions for Roma this season himself, two of which were in four Europa League games, and he would definitely offer something new to PSG.
As for Spurs, their interest is very much warranted as well.
With Christian Eriksen likely to be leaving the club and Mourinho needing a small boost at the start of his new managerial stint, the 20-year-old Italian seems like a good solution.
Still, will Levy actually decide to go into a potential bidding war with the likes of United and PSG?
Maybe it would be a good time to do just that, otherwise, the French giants won’t hesitate to pull the trigger themselves.
Meanwhile, Atletico Madrid could be getting their missing link by landing Manchester United’s veteran midfielder.
