Premier League
Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool eye Roma full‑back Emmanuel Lulli
In Roma's senior set‑up, 19‑year‑old Emmanuel Lulli has emerged as a standout full‑back under manager Gian Piero Gasperini. The six‑foot defender has drawn interest from several English Premier League clubs, with Arsenal, Chelsea and Liverpool named among those monitoring his progress, a TEAMtalk report says.
English clubs widen the chase
Beyond the trio, Tottenham Hotspur have also received positive reports on Lulli, while Manchester City and Manchester United are said to be aware of his progress. The breadth of interest highlights the growing competition surrounding the Roma defender.
Paris Saint‑Germain have entered the race, adding a continental dimension to the chase. Their ability to attract young talent makes them a formidable rival for any English suitor.
Standing at six feet, Lulli combines physical presence with defensive reliability and attacking quality. His capacity to contribute at both ends of the pitch makes him an appealing option for clubs seeking a future‑proof full‑back.

Scouts first took notice of Lulli after his teammate Wesley broke onto the scene, but the full‑back quickly forged his own reputation. Since stepping into Roma’s senior setup, his performances have consistently impressed observers.
Roma aim to retain the talent
Roma are keen to protect their investment and are already contemplating a new contract for the teenager. The club believes he can become a key member of their senior squad if retained.
A move to the Premier League would give Lulli an exciting chance to test himself in a different environment, though regular first‑team football would be essential for his development. The English clubs monitoring him are aware that playing time will be a decisive factor.
With interest from both English giants and a French champion, Lulli’s future could evolve into one of the most closely watched transfer stories in the coming months. How the situation resolves will likely influence how other young Italian defenders are valued abroad.
