Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the AS Roma midfielder Niccolo Pisilli.
The 21-year-old central midfielder has impressed with the Italian outfit, and Tottenham want to secure his signature in the summer. According to a report from AS Roma Live, Tottenham also submitted an offer of €20 million to sign him last winter.
Niccolo Pisilli is a long-term target for Tottenham
They have been monitoring him closely, and it seems that he is a long-term target for them. The report further claims that Spurs could look to sign him in a swap deal, offering Destiny Udogie to the Italian club. It remains to be seen how the situation develops. Swap deals are often difficult to execute.
It is no secret that Spurs need more quality and depth in the middle of the park. The 21-year-old will add control, composure, and defensive cover to the team.
Pisilli can operate as a central midfielder, defensive midfielder, or box-to-box midfielder. He has the technical attributes to thrive in the Premier League, and he will look to establish himself as a key player for Tottenham if the move goes through.
Udogie set for Spurs exit?
On the other hand, Udogie has been inconsistent for Tottenham, and he has been linked with a move away from the club. It will be interesting to see if the opportunity to return to Italy can tempt him. He could use a fresh start, and moving to Rome would be ideal.
It remains to be seen if Tottenham come forward with an official offer for the 21-year-old midfielder at the end of the season. Convincing the player to join the club will not be too difficult. He will look to take the next step in his career, and joining a Premier League club will be quite attractive for him.
