According to La Gazzetta dello Sport journalist Nicolo Schira, Tottenham Hotspur have made an offer for Roma midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini, who currently has a £26.7m release clause in his contract.

The 22-year-old has made 71 appearances for Roma over the last two seasons.

A regular during the 2018-19 campaign, Pellegrini is also a 10-time Italy international and is capable of operating in a number of different midfield positions, making him an attractive proposition.

According to Schira, Roma are keen to offer Pellegrini a new contract which would remove his release clause.

However, Tottenham - in addition to Arsenal - are said to have made a proposal to Pellegrini's agent with the view to completing a summer deal.

The Spurs supporters have been on social media reacting to the speculation.

And it would be fair to say that there are a lot of differing opinions on whether the Italian would be a good signing - as shown by the tweets below:
