Roma midfielder Nicolo Zaniolo has revealed his desire to become an ‘icon’ at the Olimpico, explaining that he owes them ‘everything’.
Zaniolo joined Roma in the summer of 2018, as part of the deal that took Radja Nainggolan to Inter, and had yet to play in Serie A at the time of his arrival.
“I’d like to become a Roma icon, but right now I have to think about coming back and playing,” said the 20-year-old in an excerpt of an upcoming Sky Sport Italia interview.
