A second Lewes player has gone on trial with a Premier League club.

Last week 20-year-old forward Yasin Ben El-Mhanni joined Chelsea on trial.

Now 16-year-old midfielder Charlie Coppola has linked up with Premier League leaders Leicester City.

Coppola has made eight first-team appearances for the Rooks this season, including featuring in their last three matches.

He joined the Foxes yesterday and will play for the youth team today.

Lewes boss Darren Freeman said: “Charlie is a very good player with a great future ahead of him.

“There are a few clubs who are interested in him.

“He is just one of a number of good young players we have here.”
