Wellington Phoenix close to confirming the signing of 21 y/o Australian attacker Reno Piscopo from Italian Serie C club Renate.
Highly rated by Socceroos coach Graham Arnold and was coached by Ufuk Talay in the Australian under-20 side. He signed with Inter Milan aged 12. pic.twitter.com/rl9GFC51U5— Jason Pine (@pineyzb) August 8, 2019
Looks decent hopefully an upgrade on Devlin, we must be looking at an import ST now.
Good highlights comp of him here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAjHpyVCSYY
Got some skills for sure, though most/all of that footage seems at youth level.
Full season in Serie C, last season for Renate. 26 starts & 5 goals.

Handy stats maybe, in a team that struggled, with Renate finishing 17th out of 20 teams in their regional division of Serie C (Girone B).
Played for Italia at U15 & U17 level.
Hopefully some of the Aussie youth connections Talay has, pan out well. It's gonna be a young Nix side no doubt.
