Jose Mourinho influence could transform Roma playmaker Lorenzo Pellegrini’s game as he did with Harry Kane. 

Roma midfielder Lorenzo Pellegrini has been linked with a move to Liverpool and Tottenham in recent weeks. Still, it seems that Jose Mourinho has convinced the 24-year-old Italian international to continue at the capital club.

The Portuguese manager is set to take over at Roma, and he’s already making his presence felt.

The fans will be delighted if the manager can convince a key player like Pellegrini to continue at the club beyond this summer.

The highly talented goalscoring midfielder could play a key role for Jose Mourinho next season. It will be interesting to see if the Portuguese manager can have a transformative effect on his game just like he did with Harry Kane at Tottenham Hotspur.

The England international was always a world-class striker, but his game was elevated to another level under Mourinho.

Kane managed to develop the creative side of his game under former Spurs boss, and he managed to end the season with 23 goals and 13 assists in the Premier League.

Pellegrini is a relatively young player, and he has a lot to learn. The Italian is yet to reach his peak, and Mourinho could have a massive impact on his development over the next few seasons.

The Roma midfielder has the potential to develop into one of the best players in the league, and it remains to be seen whether he can achieve his potential in the coming seasons.

The 24-year-old chipped in with eleven goals and nine assists this past season.
