AS Roma superkid Nicolo Zaniolo is interesting Newcastle United.
The Evening Chronicle says sources in Italy have revealed that United scouts have checked out the 19-year-old AS Roma midfielder after emerging as one of Serie A's top young talents.
Zaniolo ended up at Roma as part of a swap deal with Inter Milan last season as the teenager and ex-Toon defender Davide Santon were traded for Radja Nainggolan.
However, Inter's judgment has been questioned as the midfield youngster's part in the deal was valued at just €4.5million.
Zaniolo, who stands at 6ft 3in, has scored five goals and provided two assists for Roma this term in 26 games.
