Tottenham Hotspur are showing interest in Roma midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini and are closely monitoring his situation in Rome.
This is according to calciomercato.it. The Italian website have today covered the Roma midfielder and Tottenham's new interest in him.
Their report suggests that Pellegrini's future at Rome remains uncertain. His current deal expires in a few months, and his future is up in the air.
He is 'seriously tempted' by the idea of leaving Serie A and finding his place in another league.
Tottenham showing 'intense interest'
And now Tottenham are showing 'intense interest' in the 29-year-old. They may also be ready to launch a 'decisive attack' against him.
According to CM.it, they are interested in Igor Tudor. He is a long-time admirer of Pellegrini and would welcome the opportunity to coach him in the Premier League, although this depends on his own future at Tottenham.
He is the only interim coach until the end of the season and it remains to be seen whether he stays at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium after that point. If he did so, Pellegrini's name would be on Tottenham's list.
For his part, the midfielder is waiting to see how the situation develops. The chance to test himself in the Premier League is 'definitely very tempting'.
The Roma, for their part, are very much aware of the interest. The Italian side have begun contacting the player's managers to explore the possibility of a last-minute renewal. They are clearly worried about losing Pellegrini and Tottenham's sudden, new interest.
tottenham's future uncertain
However, Sport Witness would urge caution. This report sounds exactly like linking Tudor with a player and nothing more.
However, Tottenham have their eye on free agents and midfielders this summer.
Just today Sport Witness again covered a report stating their interest in Leon Goretzka. This has been going on for some time.
So, adding Pellegrini's name to the list makes sense on that front. However, until the club resolves Tudor's future or appoints a permanent man in the dugout, this rumor deserves a major pinch.
