De Zerbi said Milan target Estupiñán ‘could become one of the best in the world’

Two years ago, then-Brighton head coach Roberto De Zerbi described Pervis Estupiñán as having the potential to “become one of the best left-backs in the world”, with his quotes re-surfacing after reports linked the Ecuadorian with a move to Milan.

Rumours have intensified over the past couple of days surrounding the 27-year-old’s future at Brighton, where De Zerbi used to coach the player. Milan appear to have identified the talented left-back as a replacement for Theo Hernandez, who left the club to join Al-Hilal this summer.
