According to WhoScored, no Roma player averaged a higher rate of successful take-ons per 90 or attracted more fouls than the 23-year-old last season – highlighting his real quality and direct threat under former Lilywhites boss Jose Mourinho.
Also called a ‘beast’ by members of the Italian press (Carlo Garganese), it is clear that Zaniolo has lived up to this tag recently and why Conte is such a huge fan of the player.
In recent days, reliable journalist Ben Jacobs (Last Word on Spurs via The Boot Room) has claimed that he is ‘open’ to joining Spurs – providing the north Londoners with a real boost if they decide to make another move.
