Transfer hammer! Brighton secures Italian international Coppola
In an exciting twist to the summer transfer window, Premier League club Brighton & Hove Albion have today announced the move of Diego Coppola. The 21-year-old defender comes to the Seagulls from Hellas Verona for around 11 million euros and has signed a contract until 2030. The signing is part of Brighton's strategy to strengthen its defense after the club failed to qualify for European competitions last season. Ex-St. Pauli coach Fabian Hürzeler, who has had a solid first season in the Premier League, is excited about the new signing and says Coppola is a tall, strong and agile player who will enrich the team. St. Pauli24 reports.
Brighton have already spent a significant €60 million on transfers this summer without making a profit from sales. The club managed to leave other suitors such as Bournemouth behind and sign Coppola. Reports claim that Brighton have made an offer of over £8.4 million, which Hellas Verona have accepted. The final contract is currently being finalized before it is officially announced Sportsmole reports.
A look at the transfer situation
However, Brighton's summer break spending isn't the only news from the Premier League. The club is determined to strengthen its defense, which marks an important step with the signing of Coppola. The focus on reinforcements shows how serious Brighton are about returning to European competition after enjoying a historic European Cup appearance last season.
Overall, Brighton's transfer list shows no further arrivals or departures for the 2025/26 season and the club's senior figures are hard at work making plans for the coming season. At the moment all attention is focused on integrating Coppola and strengthening the squad. Transfer market offers an overview of the club's activities to date and will certainly provide further information about any new additions in the coming weeks.
