Newcastle United have reportedly joined the race to sign Nicolo Zaniolo from Roma.
According to a report from Rome today, the 23-year-old is also on the radar of Premier League clubs Arsenal and Tottenham.
Newcastle are apparently willing to pay big money for the Italian midfielder and it will be interesting to see if the Magpies make a concrete offer for the player in the coming weeks.
Zaniolo is under contract with the Italian club until the summer of 2024 and there were rumors earlier in the season that the Italian giants were hoping to agree a contract extension with the player.
However, the two parties have failed to reach an agreement so far and that has fueled speculation about the player’s long-term future at the capital club.
Newcastle have assembled a formidable team since their takeover and there’s no doubt they could use more quality in the upcoming windows. Zaniolo could prove a useful addition in the final third for Eddie Howe.

The 23-year-old midfielder will bring creativity and vision to Newcastle’s attack.
Players like Callum Wilson and Alexander Isak could benefit from his arrival and the Italian could help create ample scoring chances for his teammates.
There is no doubt that the Magpies have the finances to tempt Roma to sell the player in the near future and it will be interesting to see how the situation plays out. Apparently, the player is valued at 50-60 million euros.
Newcastle are currently third in the league table and there is no reason why they can’t attract top talent like Zaniolo if they manage to secure Champions League qualification.
