Tottenham Hotspur appear to have gained an early advantage over Premier League rivals Liverpool and Chelsea in the race to sign promising Italian midfielder Niccolo Pisilli.
As reported by Sebastien Vidal, Spurs have reportedly reached a preliminary agreement to sign the 20-year-old from AS Roma, with the deal likely to be finalized following the Club World Cup.
Interest From Liverpool & Chelsea
Pisilli has impressed during the European Under-21 Championship representing Italy, attracting interest from top clubs. According to TEAMtalk, both Liverpool and Chelsea are monitoring his progress closely.
Tottenham’s move could potentially prompt their competitors to accelerate their interest in securing the young talent.
Pisilli would represent a smart long-term investment for any of the three clubs. Already a regular in Roma’s first team, he managed to net three goals last season and shows significant promise to evolve into a Premier League-caliber midfielder with the proper guidance.
A transfer to a club like Tottenham, Liverpool, or Chelsea would likely be a thrilling opportunity for the young Italian, especially given their strong records in developing youth talent.
Why Spurs Want Pisilli
Spurs, who have recently brought in young prospects such as Lucas Bergvall, are in search of additional midfield depth. With potential future exits of players like Yves Bissouma and Rodrigo Bentancur, Pisilli could fill a crucial role. His technical skill and ability to dictate the pace of a game make him a strong fit for the squad.
Whichever club manages to land Pisilli at a fair price could end up securing a major talent for the future. The midfielder himself is reportedly ready for a new challenge and hopes to cement his place as a key player at the top level. Consistent playing time in the Premier League could be exactly what he needs to fully unlock his potential
