Jonathan David’s future has been reportedly not yet decided, which may be good news for Newcastle United’s summer transfer plan.
Canada International is mentioned in Chronicle’s report as a possible target for Newcastle this summer as Magpies are hunting for new sign-ups.
The report noted that David is a free agent this summer as his reel contract ended, and the move to Serie A does not seem to close.
This is linked to what Italian journalist Alfredo Pedula experienced in his exclusive reporting Catch off side The column recently appeared to be signing David, but decided to wait before finalizing the deal.
Pedulla also mentioned interest from Juventus, but nothing has progressed, so the Chronicle suggests that this could once again open the door to Newcastle.
Jonathan David has an attribute that makes Newcastle’s great signature
In addition to the fact that he will become a free agent, David is a proven goalscorer at the highest level that an ambitious club wants to sign.
The 25-year-old was a consistently prolific scorer in his time at Reel, as you can see from his statistics below…
In his career total, David has 180 goals for the club and country and looks like someone who should have little trouble getting into the Premier League.
Where does Jonathan David fit in Newcastle?
Of course, Newcastle already has Alexander Isaac as the top-quality first-select center.
It remains to be seen whether David will start many games due to Isak’s presence, or whether Eddie Howe may play his tactics two times ahead.
As the Chronicle quoted what he said a few years ago, the appeal of playing in the UK could be key to players.
“In the UK, when you watch the game, everything is full every time. As a player, it motivates you even more,” he said.
“I don’t know, I think it’s possible, I think it’s very possible (I could play in the UK one day). I don’t know if I’ll be able to find a place outside of the Premier League. It could be the Premier League. It’s a very nice vibe.”
