According to a report by Italian publication La Nazione, Tottenham have made an approach to sign Pisa SC defender Francesco Coppola, but their approach has been rebuffed by the Italian club. It will be interesting to see if they come forward with an offer to sign the 20-year-old in the coming weeks.
The Italian defensive sensation was on loan at Vis Pesaro this season, and he was quite impressive for them. It is no surprise that the Premier League giants are keen on securing a signature.
He could prove to be a quality long-term investment for Tottenham. The 20-year-old has shown his quality during his loan spell this season, and with the right guidance, he could develop into an important player for Tottenham.
However, the Italian outfit are not keen on losing him anytime soon. Tottenham might have to pay well over the odds to convince Pisa SC in the coming weeks. It will be interesting to see how the situation unfolds.
Meanwhile, the talented young defender needs to focus on his development, and it will be interesting to see if Tottenham can convince him to join the club. The 20-year-old needs regular game time at a high level in order to continue his development.
Sitting on the bench at a big club is unlikely to benefit him. If he joins started him, he should seek game time assurances before committing to the move. Meanwhile, Tottenham have secured Champions League qualification for the next season, and they are looking to improve their squad adequately during the summer transfer window pull stop
It remains to be seen whether they can plug the gaps in the squad before the window closes. The 20-year-old would be a long-term investment for the club if they can get the deal across the line. If he manages to fulfil his potential with Tottenham, he could end up saving millions in the transfer market for them. They should look to try and negotiate a reasonable deal to sign the youngster.
