Roma have rejected an offer from Tottenham for forward Nicolo Zaniolo with the Serie A side valuing the Italian at £35m, according to Sky in Italy.

Sky Sports News understands Spurs have not followed up on initial interest in Brighton forward Leandro Trossard and are now looking at other attacking options, with the club renewing a long-standing interest in Zaniolo.

Roma have turned down an unsatisfactory offer from Spurs, who remain interested in signing the 23-year-old.

Jose Mourinho’s side are happy to sell Zaniolo in this window and are also prepared to do a loan deal with an obligation to buy.

Zaniolo has scored just twice in 19 games in all competitions this season.

Tottenham’s interest in the Italy international comes following reports north London rivals Arsenal are in advanced talks to sign Trossard.

Antonio Conte’s side are yet to make a signing this January, with the club also continuing their interest in Sporting Lisbon right wing-back Pedro Porro.
