Tottenham Hotspur Are Keeping Tabs On This Gifted Youngster: One For The Future? | OneFootball

In a recent report, Italian journalist Alfredo Pedulla revealed that Tottenham Hotspur are keeping tabs on Pisa SC youngster Francesco Coppola. It has been claimed that Spurs have set their sights on the Italian defender as they look to strengthen their squad this summer.

Coppola’s Impressive Rise In Italian Football

The 20-year-old is having a good loan spell at Vis Pesaro this season as he has managed to put in a string of solid displays for them on the defensive third of the pitch. Coppola has made 35 appearances for the Italian club during this campaign, scoring three goals in multiple competitions.

The Italian talent has been a rock at the back for Vis Pesaro over the past ten months. However, he is still quite inexperienced at the highest level and would need time to be ready for top-flight football.

Coppola is under contract at his parent club Pisa until the end of next season. Thus, Tottenham could potentially sign him on a cut-price deal in this summer transfer window.

Tottenham Hotspur Are Keeping Tabs On Coppola: Is He A Prospect For The Future?

Coppola is a solid tackler of the ball and can time his challenges well to earn the ball back for his team inside his half. He usually puts his foot through the ball when the opposition are on the front foot.

The Italian sensation can even use his strong 1.95m frame to dominate the opposition attackers in the air. However, he is still quite raw and would need time to settle into life in the Premier League if Spurs manage to get him on board this off-season.

We can expect Coppola to enhance the quality of Tottenham‘s backline in the long run. He has the potential to be a regular starter at the North London club in the future.

At 20, Coppola’s best years are ahead of him which makes him a decent choice for Spurs to consider in the long run. He is undoubtedly a prospect to watch out for in the future, so Tottenham should step up their efforts to land him this summer.
