Rossi’s advisor Andrea Pastorello has claimed that the Premier League quartet have all shown interest in the 23-year-old, who has hit 17 goals for Villarreal this season.
Rossi’s agent told calciomercato.it: "In the last weeks, he was watched by several English clubs. He's on the notebooks of Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City and Tottenham.
"We have met with leaders from these clubs and not mere emissaries, who took private jets to watch him."
“Rossi will almost certainly leave Villarreal and could return to Italy. He is followed by many clubs, but we are in no hurry,” he said.
Since joining the Spanish outfit Rossi has found the kind of form to attract the attentions of Italy manager Marcello Lippi, earning 14 caps for the Azzurri to date.
Indeed, Rossi’s form at club level has earned the forward a place in Lippi’s Italian squad for the forthcoming World Cup finals in South Africa.
And any eye-catching performances at the tournament could see interest from England’s elite stepped up, with Rossi looking almost certain to leave Spain this summer.
