Juventus are resisting January offers for striker Jonathan David, though Newcastle interest could re-emerge in the window. For punters: a confirmed move to Newcastle would likely shorten the Magpies’ odds to score more and make David an appealing anytime-goalscorer pick; if Juventus keep him, markets remain steady. Monitor transfer confirmation before betting on match goal-lines or player-goalscorer markets.
Jonathan David transfer interest — Newcastle among suitors
Newcastle United are among Premier League clubs linked with Juventus striker Jonathan David ahead of the January window. The 26-year-old Canada international has scored five times in 28 appearances for Juventus this season after joining the club in July on a five-year deal following a prolific spell at Lille, where he netted 109 goals in 232 matches.
Juventus' stance and David's recent form
Juventus view David as an important part of their squad and are understood to be resisting mid-season departures, making a January switch difficult. David endured a 16-game goalless run in Serie A but has found form recently with back-to-back goals against Sassuolo and Cremonese.
Why Newcastle are linked and squad context
Interest in David comes despite Newcastle’s significant summer outlay on forwards. The club added Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa during the last window. Woltemade has contributed seven goals and two assists in 18 league appearances, while Wissa returned from a knee injury to score his first Premier League goal in a 3-1 win over Burnley and has started two of the last three matches.
Potential outgoing: Jamaal Lascelles
Captain Jamaal Lascles has featured just 19 minutes of league football this season and could be available in January as his contract nears expiry. West Ham have been linked with the 32-year-old defender as Newcastle weigh up squad adjustments and potential midfield reinforcements.
Betting implications and what punters should watch
Any confirmed January move for David would likely shift markets: expect Newcastle’s odds to shorten in match-winner and goals markets, and for David to become a tempting anytime-goalscorer selection. If Juventus retain him, markets should remain largely unchanged. Punters should wait for transfer confirmations before adjusting stakes and focus on goals-over and player-goals markets once clarity is provided.
Transfer window outlook
A deal in January remains challenging while Juventus maintain a not-for-sale approach, but continued interest from Premier League clubs keeps the story alive as the mid-season transfer window approaches.
