Tottenham have been told they are not in with a chance of signing Nicolo Zaniolo from Roma.
Jose Mourinho is a huge admirer of the 21-year-old midfielder.
However, a report from Sky Sport Italia claims Spurs failed with a £45 million bid for the player.
Roma would want at least 15 or 20 million more to make a deal happen.
They would prefer to keep the player, and it does not appear further talks will take place.
