Pisa SC’s Francesco Coppola has emerged as a new target for Tottenham Hotspur for the summer window, according to a report from Italy.
The 20-year-old joined the Serie B club’s academy in 2022, and they sent him out on loan to Vis Pesaro, who are in the third division, this season.
Coppola was a regular for the Serie C club, playing over 3,000 minutes from 35 games in all competitions. His performances have seen Tottenham take notice.
That’s at least what Italian journalist Alfredo Pedullà is reporting, and he states Tottenham ‘appreciate’ the centre-back. The Italy U20 international has also managed to attract attention from elsewhere.
The journalist explains several clubs, including the Europa League winners, have ‘turned the spotlight’ on the young defender. He adds Ange Postecoglou’s side appreciate him and have been following his performances for several months.
The level of Serie C, though, is comparatively low and it’s surely hard to judge a player based on it. To put that into context, the average attendance at Vis Pesaro is 1686.
Tottenham have only expressed their interest in Coppola for now. Pedullà says it remains to be seen whether they will convert it into an offer in the upcoming window.
Coppola’s contract lasts until 2026 and Pisa could find it difficult to refuse if Tottenham were to make an offer.
