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.
The Toffees had the fourth-best defence in the Premier League and second-worst attack, so it was a position that needed addressing.
Strange wrote on X: “Increasingly baffling that Everton, who had the fourth best defence and second worst attack last season, spent half their transfer budget on a fourth-choice centre back who might not play again this season, rather than an attacking player capable of creating/scoring goals.”

The Toffees did bring in Iliman Ndiaye and Jesper Lindstrom and perhaps did not spend big on a striker as they had done with Beto who was struggling to adapt.
