Italian midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini has been linked with a move away from AS Roma, and Tottenham Hotspur are keen on securing his signature.
According to a report from Calciomercato, the newly appointed Tottenham manager, Igor Tudor, is a ‘great admirer’ of the 29-year-old playmaker. He has urged the North London club to sign the player, and it will be interesting to see if they can get the deal done.
Lorenzo Pellegrini available on a bargain
Pellegrini will be out of contract at the end of the season, and signing a player of his quality and experience on a free transfer would be a masterstroke. Apart from being a quality player, he is a leader, and Tottenham could use someone like him in the dressing room.
He will add goals and creativity to the team. Pellegrini has four goals this season.
The report claims that there is ‘great interest’ in the player from the English club. Roma are still hoping to keep the player at the club beyond this season, and it will be interesting to see if they can agree on a renewal with him.
Pellegrini could fancy a move
The opportunity to move to the Premier League could be exciting for him at this stage of his career. He has shown his quality in Italy and could be tempted to take on a new challenge.
Tottenham have an exciting project and a quality team. Even though they have underperformed this season, they could bounce back strongly next season with a couple of quality additions.
Tudor rates the player highly and hopes to coach him. It remains to be seen how the situation develops. Even if Tottenham decide to sign him in the summer, there is no guarantee that Tudor will be able to coach him. He is the club’s interim manager, and he might not be at Spurs next season.
