Igor Tudor's team have previously been linked with the 21-year-old Tottenham Hotspur’s aim over the next six weeks will be to ensure they are playing Premier League football next season and do not suffer what would be the most extraordinary relegations in recent history. A point at champions Liverpool stopped the rot and ended a run of six straight defeat acorss all competitions, but under-fire interim boss Igor Tudor’s side are just one point clear of the drop zone. But while the club battle for their Premier League future, transfer work must continue behind the scenes and reports in Italy suggest that Spurs have a significant interest in a young Italian talent.

The Italian side rejected this approach, but the report adds that Spurs may look to revisit their pursuit of the 21-year-old in the summer. Get VIP Tottenham Hotspur tickets HERE with Seat Unique!

One potential route to a deal could be for Spurs to propose a swap deal that involves Destiny Udogie, who has already been linked with a move back to Serie A earlier this year. Pilsilli has enjoyed a recent upturn in fortunes after he initially struggled to break into Gian Piero Gasperini’s side, but has now played in Roma’s last 13 Serie A fixtures.

Pilsilli made his Italy debut in a 2-2 draw against Belgium in October 2024 and this recent form has also seen Juventus monitor his progress, according to this report. Should a Pilsilli-Udogie swap deal come to frution, it would be seen as a ‘double insult’ for Juve, given that they have also been linked with the Spurs defender in recent weeks.

Spurs are fairly well stocked when it comes to young, central midfield players and should they beat the drop this season, they will have bigger squad issues to fill and would be best served bringing in proven Premier League talents. Talk of a swap deal involving Udogie also appears far fetched, given that the Spurs defender’s Transfermarkt value is almost three times that of Pisilli at €35million.
