Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing the talented young Italian defender Francesco Coppola.
According to La Nazione, Pisa Sporting Club have received interest from the North London club, and they have now responded accordingly. The Italian publication claims that Pisa have no intention of losing the player any time soon, and they have ended negotiations with Tottenham.
The 20-year-old defender is highly rated in Italy, and he has a bright future ahead of himself. It is no surprise that Tottenham are keen on signing him. They have shown interest in signing some of the best young players in European football over the last few windows. They are clearly looking to add to the formidable pool of young talent already at the club.
Tottenham have scouted the player on multiple occasions this season.
Tottenham could use more depth
Tottenham could certainly use more depth in the defensive unit, and it remains to be seen whether they decide to test the resolve of the Italian club with an offer in the coming weeks.
The 20-year-old has impressed during his loan spell at Vis Pesaro this season, and he could prove to be a solid long-term acquisition for the London club. He could develop into an important first-team player for the club with the right guidance.
Francesco Coppola could be tempted
The opportunity to join Tottenham will be quite exciting for him. It will be a huge opportunity for him at this stage of his career, and he would get to test himself in English football. Regular football in England could accelerate his development and help him fulfil his potential.
Tottenham have done well to nurture talented young players over the years, and they could help the Italian fulfil his potential as well. It remains to be seen whether they can convince the Italian club to part with their prized prospect in the coming weeks.
