Friday’s reports claim that Premier League sides Newcastle United and Tottenham Hotspur are both interested in a potential summer transfer for Roma midfielder and Italy international Niccolo Pisilli.

Pisilli had to bide his time for opportunities in Serie A in 2025-26, but by the midway stage of the season, he had become a first-team regular and featured in 21 consecutive league matches by the end of the campaign.
He also chipped in with a goal and two assists Roma’s final four matches of the season, which came as part of a five-game winning streak that pushed the Giallorossi into the Champions League positions.
