Newcastle United should consider defender as his Serie A career winds down.
Kwadwo Asamoah could sign off at Juventus with six straight Serie A titles.
The Ghanaian international is out of contract this summer and is set to depart the current Italian league leaders and a move to the Premier League is on the cards.
Calciomercato claim that Tottenham Hotspur are interested in the versatile 29-year-old, who started out as a midfielder but has evolved into a very competent left-back in recent seasons. Everton, however, are understood to be very interested and are currently leading the chase.
But whoever lands Asamoah in the summer will be signing a player capable of solving a somewhat problem position for absolutely free. How about Newcastle United?
Because they too could also do with reinforcements on the left side of their defence this summer. Paul Dummett is soon to be the only left-back at Newcastle’s disposal with the North East club set to release Massadio Haidara and Jesus Gamez at the end of their contracts.
Luke Shaw is a target, according to The Chronicle. But Manchester United value the 23-year-old at an astonishing £28 million – which surely puts him out of The Magpies’ grasp.
So the fact that Asamoah is available for a free at the end of this season should not go unnoticed. Rafa Benitez should know the Juve and former Udinese star from his time in Serie A at Napoli and he would add leadership, versatility and a real winning mentality to Newcastle’s side – all for absolutely nothing.
