Everton transfer update emerges in quest to sign Fiorentina defender Pietro Comuzzo
Everton and Crystal Palace have been named as possible landing spots for Fiorentina defender Pietro Comuzzo, according to the Daily Mail.
The news outlet reported on 13 November that the 19-year-old centre-back recently signed a four-year contract and fancies playing in a deeper defensive setup.
Comuzzo is in line to make his debut for Italy [Football Italia] after being called up to the national team for the Nations League games.
Everton must keep tabs on Pietro Comuzzo
At just 19, Comuzzo brings youthful vigour and potential for growth, making him a good long-term investment.
His rapid rise through Fiorentina’s ranks and subsequent inclusion in the Italian national team squad by Luciano Spalletti speaks volumes about his capabilities and future prospects.
Comuzzo’s playing style would be ideal for a Sean Dyche side as he’s good at man marking and winning duels.
His ability to read the game, combined with his physical attributes, makes him well-suited for the physicality of the Premier League.
Moreover, his experience, despite his young age, in high-pressure environments like Serie A and international football, suggests he could adapt relatively quickly to Everton’s demands.
However, given the fact that the Toffees shelled out big money on Jake O’Brien in the summer and he’s barely getting a look in would suggest that Dyche may not want to bring in another centre-back.
