According to reports from The Sun, Arsenal, Chelsea, Leicester City and Manchester United are targeting Lewes youngster Charlie Coppola ahead of the summer transfer window.
The prodigious forward is just 16 years of age but has already been dubbed ‘the next Jamie Vardy’, with many tipping him to undergo a similar rise to the record-breaking former non-leaguer.

The Foxes had Coppola on trial at the King Power Stadium earlier this month and are eager to acquire his services on a permanent basis.
But according to The Sun, Leicester’s recent transfer interest in Coppola has generated attention from three of their biggest Premier League rivals in Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United.
The teenager is already a fixture in the Lewes first team, scoring once from eight Ryman Premier League outings this term, and is expected to take part in the Sussex schools County Under-18 cup final held at St. Andrews next month.
