    New Brighton signing Diego Coppola will give the side a "real physical presence", says boss Fabian Hurzeler.

    The 21-year-old defender has completed a move from Serie A club Hellas Verona for an undisclosed fee on a five-year contract.

    Coppola, who is 6ft 4in, has made 81 appearances for Verona, scoring four times, including twice in 35 appearances in 2024-25.

    The centre-back is representing Italy at the U21 European Championship in Slovakia.

    "Diego is an exciting addition for the club," head coach Hurzeler told club media.

    "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."

    What do you make of the signing? Is he what Brighton need? What can Coppola bring to the side?
