Tottenham monitor Roma teenager Emanuele Lulli ahead of January window

Tottenham are tracking Roma’s 19-year-old full-back Emanuele Lulli ahead of January, according to a TEAMtalk report cited by Spurs Web. There is no reported formal bid or completed deal, but Spurs are among a growing group of clubs watching a young defender who has made five Serie A appearances since breaking into Roma’s senior side this season.

The report says scouts have been impressed by Lulli’s work in both attack and defence, with some urging their clubs to consider him a serious target for the winter window. Arsenal and Liverpool have also been alerted to his progress, while Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United are said to be following him. Paris Saint-Germain are monitoring the Italy Under-19 international too.

Roma have already started working on a new contract for their academy graduate, the report says. With interest building before January, a renewal would give the Italian club a chance to protect Lulli’s value as attention grows around him.

For Tottenham, the reported interest comes against the backdrop of their right-back options. Spurs Web says the club did not bring in a recognised replacement for Djed Spence during the summer and have used Archie Gray as cover for Pedro Porro. The report suggests adding a right-back could allow Gray to compete for a place in midfield, his preferred position.

That squad context may help explain why Tottenham are monitoring Lulli, but the report does not establish that Spurs have made an offer or opened formal negotiations. For now, Lulli is a prospect attracting attention rather than a confirmed January signing. Roma’s contract work and the interest from several Premier League clubs add urgency to the situation as the window approaches.
