Arsenal Interested in AS Roma Star Nicolo Zaniolo After Move to Tottenham Hotspur Backfired

• Mikel Arteta's Arsenal is keeping tabs on Nicolo Zaniolo's situation at AS Roma with the view of signing him
• Zaniolo and Roma are said to be at an impasse over a new deal, with his current contract expiring in 2024
• Arsenal are interested in signing the Italian winger whose move to their London rivals Tottenham Hotspur collapsed

Arsenal are reportedly considering rivalling Tottenham Hotspur for the signature of AS Roma winger Nicolo Zaniolo.

Spurs were interested in bringing the winger to the Premier League over the summer, but a last-minute intervention from Roma boss Jose Mourinho saw the deal fall through.

It is not known if Antonio Conte will sanction another move for him in the upcoming window, but Daily Mail now reports that Arsenal have shown interest.

Zaniolo's current contract runs until 2024 and with no contract negotiation talks in sight, Arsenal believe they can get him at a reduced price next summer.

Zaniolo wants better wages at Roma

The main issue at Roma is that the club is unwilling to meet the 23-year-old's salary demands. Roma still have time to convince him to sign a new deal, but top European clubs are already hovering around.

Mikel Arteta will welcome Zaniolo's signing to add to the squad depth of his already exciting team this season. Zaniolo will provide direct competition to Bukayo Saka after the exit of Nicolas Pepe.

Apart from Arsenal, Juventus are also said to be interested in the Italian international.
