And according to beIN Sports reporter Tancredi Palmer, Mourinho has made his move.
But chairman Daniel Levy will have to loosen the purse strings a bit more with their initial £45m offer turned down.
Despite Roma’s struggles on and off the pitch this campaign, Zaniolo has been one of their standout players.
In total, the player has chipped in with eight goals and four assists in 33 games in all competitions.
He still has four years left to run on his deal at the Stadio Olimpico.
Spurs’ Premier League rivals Liverpool and Manchester United are also believed to be sniffing around.
Ligue 1 champs Paris Saint-Germain have been linked with Zaniolo too.
The creative midfielder won his first senior cap for Italy during the 2-0 win over Finland in March 2019.

The 28-year-old has been at Molineux since 2010.
Mourinhois said to have been particularly impressed with his performances with the Midlands side since they have been back in the Premier League.
