Federico Dimarco is an Italian who plays for Serie A club Empoli on loan from Internazionale as a left-back.
A tireless left-back with a thunderous shot. The 18-year-old scored the Italians match winner against England in the semi-final of the last U19 European Championships. In fact he scored two goals in that game.
Stefano Vecchi, Inter youth coach
"He has the makings of a great left-back: his natural proficiency in striking the ball means he is a perfect candidate for this role, especially in a back five. Provide him with adequate support and cover, and he offers a real threat for his team to take advantage of."Paolo Vanoli, Italy U19 coach, after Dimarco's display against England
"He shows that physical qualities aren't the most important things – his technical qualities are what count. The difference between him and other players is how he manages the game."
Jean-Kévin Augustin is a French striker we have taken a very keen interest in. He is currently on the books of Ligue 1 side Paris Saint-Germain and was the subject of an offer from us, on more than one occasion I believe. He turned down a loan move to Tottenham to remain at PSG despite limited chances to play senior football.
Yet again we have been linked with him in the press this window. Get French Football News suggest Borussia Dortmund are preparing a move for him if they lose Pierre Emerick-Aubameyang. They also confirm that we remain interested in the youngster, as have French newspaper L'Equipe who believe we will step up interest if PSG sign a backup striker to Edinson Cavani. It is thought PSG could loan him out in January.
