Scouting Report & Player Insights
Diego Coppola is an Italian centre-back who moved to Brighton & Hove Albion after developing through Hellas Verona's academy and senior side. He is a physically imposing defender who relies on strength in aerial and ground duels rather than technical flair on the ball.
