Diego Coppola
21-Year-Old
Brighton & Hove Albion
Premier
Struggling for minutes
Coppola has struggled for minutes since joining Brighton, logging only 16 minutes in the Premier League so far.
ANALYSIS
Coppola has featured only 16 minutes in the Premier League for the Seagulls since joining over the summer. The center-back is still young, and the best league in the world has been tough to adapt to for foreigners, but his low amount of minutes is somewhat surprising given how decent he has been with Verona in Serie A in recent seasons, which earned him a call-up to the Italian national squad in June. Coppola will hope to see increased playing time in the upcoming months to show his qualities in the backline for Brighton.

Signs with Brighton
Coppola has signed a contract with Brighton until 2030, joining from Hellas Verone, his new club announced. "Diego is an exciting addition for the club. Although he is still young, he is tall, strong and mobile and he will give us a real physical presence. He has made impressive progress in Serie A and deserved his call-up to the Italian national team. We look forward to helping him develop even more," said coach Fabian Hurzeler.
