Tottenham Hotspur are still 'looking to complete a deal' for Roma star Nicolo Zaniolo despite his newly dislocated shoulder, according to reports.

The Lowdown: Lilywhites set for late flurry?

Lilywhites head coach Antonio Conte has seen a plethora of new arrivals make their way to north London as he gears up for a hectic and crucial 2022/2023 Premier League campaign.

Spurs are set to compete in the Champions League for the first time since 2020, strengthening their options as a result with Ivan Perisic, Fraser Forster, Yves Bissouma, Richarlison, Clement Lenglet and Djed Spence joining the first team.

Sporting director Fabio Paratici has also signed Italy Under-21 starlet Destiny Udogie with the left-wing-back re-joining Udinese on loan for the season.

According to reports, Udogie's signing may not be the only remaining incoming from Serie A as news emerges on Zaniolo.

The Latest: Tottenham 'looking to complete a deal' for Zaniolo...

Indeed, it is believed that the 23-year-old remains of interest to Spurs regardless of his recent shoulder injury.

90min claim the N17 side are 'looking to complete a deal' for Zaniolo before September 1 with the Italy international 'greatly admired' by both Conte and Paratici.

Tottenham apparently see Zaniolo as capable of playing wing-back and Roma are open to selling if their €50 million (£42m) asking price is met.

The Verdict: Make the move?

The attacker could reportedly be out for around a month with his new knock, but going by his potential and talent, four weeks is worth the wait if Spurs can get him through the door before deadline day.

Called 'special' by Federico Balzaretti and a 'exciting' signing by former Spurs keeper Paul Robinson, his WhoScored stats back this up, with Zaniolo completing more successful take-ons and attracting more fouls per 90 than any Roma player last season.
