Diego Coppola joined Brighton on a permanent deal last summer but was loaned out to Paris FC in January. Despite this, the defender has no negative words to say about the Seagulls.

sports witness The excitement in Italy about a move to the English south coast was capped, with Hellas Verona receiving a fee of €11m.

In the first half of the campaign, the Italian played five times in the Premier League but played less than 200 minutes. He got playing time in the Carabao Cup but it was not enough to impress Fabian Herzeler

Therefore, in search of more playing time, he joined Paris FC, where he has already played over 600 minutes in all competitions. This has played a role in his selection in the Italian national team to some extent.

The centre-back has now spoken about his time at Brighton and his exit.

The player is grateful to Brighton

spoke to diego coppola Gianluca Di Marzio In a detailed interview. Despite his lack of game time under the German, he expressed some praise for Herzeler.

The centre-back said: "He is a great person who helped me a lot. That's why I have nothing to say against brightonStaff, or Herzeler. Quite the contrary."

Coppola revealed that the Seagulls supported him for the transfer, even though they would have preferred to keep him on the team.

"I asked to leave because I wanted more playing time; they didn't want to let me go. Herzeler would have liked to have me in the group, because I had a close relationship with the boys and young players. But then they understood my needs, because, for my development as a player, it was the best option, considering that I would return there sooner or later."

The Italian cited Brighton's impressive training ground as one of the reasons he accepted them as a destination in the first place.

“I knew that Brighton were already pursuing me between February and March last year. They sent me videos of the facilities to show me how they worked, so I'm not saying I only had an offer from Brighton, but I know they wanted me and I accepted straight away"

The future may still be in the Seagulls' hands

Taking his words into account, Diego Coppola may still have a future at Brighton. He also hints at this and everything could depend on how he performs for Paris FC.

There should be no doubt about his ability. He impressed in Serie A at Hellas Verona, which also earned him a place with the Azzurri last year. This suggests that Coppola could become an important player for Brighton should he get past the settling period.

Many players from Ligue 1 find it easier to make their mark in the Premier League. Perhaps that's why Paris FC is a good destination for the 22-year-old player, who has a long-term contract at the Amex that might just be completed.
