As the January transfer window approaches in less than 10 days, it’s not unexpected to observe Newcastle United being linked with several potential signings. Among the names that have surfaced in the media in recent days are Lille’s Jonathan David and the versatile Red Bull Salzburg defender Amar Dedic.
According to reports from the Italian outlet Tuttomercatoweb, Jonathan David, the Canadian star, is considered a ‘top target’ for AC Milan. However, Newcastle United has emerged as a potential obstacle for Milan, as Toon chiefs have reportedly ‘tested the waters’ to explore what it might require to secure the 23-year-old’s signature.
The report suggests that AC Milan might face financial challenges in competing with Newcastle United if the latter pursues the signing of Jonathan David. The Canadian forward, who has scored an impressive 52 goals in the past two and a half seasons in France, has a connection with Sven Botman from their time together at Lille. Additionally, Newcastle scouts have reportedly observed David in the past, making him a player of interest for the Premier League club.
According to The Sun, Newcastle United scouts have reportedly been present in the stands to observe Amar Dedic, the Bosnian full-back, during Salzburg’s last three Champions League games. The scouts have also attended some of his recent international appearances. The 21-year-old, who is highly rated, has drawn interest from several other top clubs, including Chelsea, Arsenal, Inter Milan, and Barcelona. Dedic is known for his versatility, as he can operate in various positions across the back four, with a primary focus on playing at full-back.
