Roma will consider a loan move to sign Mathys Tel from Tottenham in January, if the club are unable to land Manchester United striker Joshua Zirkzee.Zirkzee has been heavily linked with a return to Serie A in the winter window, having fallen out of favour this season.The Dutch international has played just 82 minutes of Premier League football following the arrivals of Benjamin Sesko, Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo.Roma want to lure the ex-Bologna forward back to Italy, while Zirkzee is keen to secure more minutes and boost his hopes of making the Netherlands’ World Cup squad.

Tel is a name on the club’s radar, as the Frenchman battles for favour at Tottenham.The 20-year-old has scored twice in the Premier League this season but has started just three league games.
