Aston Villa attacker Nicola Zainolo is being linked with a return to Italy.

The former Roma midfielder has impressed with Villa this season under Unai Emery.

But TMW says Serie A clubs are making enquiries about bringing him back to Italy this summer.

Zaniolo is being considered by AC Milan, but in the background there are also Napoli and Fiorentina.

It's suggested Zaniolo is open to a return home as he seeks to establish himself in Italy coach Luciano Spalletti's World Cup plans.
