Tottenham Hotspur have taken the lead over Premier League rivals Liverpool and Chelsea in the chase for promising Italian midfielder Niccolò Pisilli.
As reported by Sebastien Vidal, Spurs have reached a preliminary agreement to sign the 20-year-old from AS Roma, with the deal expected to be finalized following the Club World Cup.
Liverpool and Chelsea Showing Interest
Pisilli has impressed for Italy during the European Under-21 Championship, catching the attention of Tottenham, who have closely monitored his performances. TEAMtalk reports that both Liverpool and Chelsea are also following his progress.
Tottenham’s move could potentially prompt their rivals to intensify their efforts to land the talented youngster.
Pisilli would be a valuable long-term signing for any of the three clubs. With the right development, he has the tools to become a top-level Premier League midfielder. Already a regular at Roma, he notched three goals last season.
Joining a prestigious club such as Tottenham, Liverpool, or Chelsea would represent an exciting opportunity for Pisilli. All three are known for nurturing young talent.
Spurs, in particular, are aiming to bolster their midfield depth and have made recent investments in youth, such as Lucas Bergvall. With the potential need to replace players like Yves Bissouma and Rodrigo Bentancur down the line, Pisilli could be a smart addition. His composure and technical skill would strengthen Tottenham’s midfield and give them greater control during matches.
The final destination of Pisilli remains to be seen, but any club securing him at a reasonable fee could be getting a real gem for the future.
The youngster is eager for a new challenge and aims to establish himself at the top level. Regular playing time in the Premier League could be instrumental in fast-tracking his development and unlocking his full potential.
Meanwhile, Fabrizio Romano has disclosed Tottenham’s strategy for a 44-cap international ahead of the upcoming season.
