On a sporting level, Ponsi brings to Reggio Emilia a young player, already experienced at the Italian professional level, capable of playing on the right flank of the defense. His profile as a young full-back from a large training center corresponds to the model often sought by clubs on the peninsula: technical, tactically trained and with room for improvement.
For Reggiana, which plays in the Italian professional championships, this arrival should strengthen the defensive options on the right side for the second half of the season. The club obviously wishes to secure immediate reinforcement via a loan, while leaving itself the possibility of a permanent transfer if the planned conditions apply.
