"Aston Villa have also scored just five goals in those seven games, with their attack being completely blunted and leaving Emery an exasperated figure on the sidelines. Tammy Abraham was brought back to the club in an £18million deal from Besiktas in the January window and has scored twice in seven appearances to date, while Ollie Watkins has emerged as a major target for Newcastle United."
"The Canada international has notched just seven times in 38 outings in all competitions for Juve so far this term, after joining the Turin giants on a free transfer from Lille last summer. David initially did fairly well at Juventus, scoring five goals in 12 games while leading marksman Dusan Vlahovic was sidelined, but his form has tailed off significantly since then."
"However, the 26-year-old has proven to be a prolific striker at club level for a number of years now, with 153 goals to his name, and remains an attractive proposition despite his struggles in Italy. And now a fresh report from Italian outlet Calciomercato claims that David could be on his way out of Juventus after just one season, with Villa firmly in the mix for his signature."
Aston Villa are intensifying their pursuit of Juventus striker Jonathan David for the summer transfer window after discovering a favorable asking price. Villa's attack has been blunted recently, scoring just five goals in seven games, prompting manager Unai Emery to seek reinforcements. Tammy Abraham has contributed minimally since his January arrival, while Ollie Watkins faces interest from Newcastle United. David, a 26-year-old Canadian international, joined Juventus on a free transfer from Lille but has managed only seven goals in 38 appearances this season. Despite his current struggles in Italy and being substituted at half-time recently, David remains an attractive prospect given his career record of 153 goals. Italian reports suggest David could leave Juventus after just one season, with Villa firmly positioned as contenders for his signature.
