Newcastle United has reportedly identified Leif Davis, a left-back from Ipswich Town, as a potential target in the upcoming summer transfer window, in an effort to strengthen their team. The club regards him as a perfect match for the team and a highly beneficial acquisition.
It has the potential to be a highly beneficial acquisition since the player’s price tag will not exceed £10m. Nevertheless, the Magpies may see competition from their English opponent, West Ham United, who have also expressed interest in acquiring the youngster.
Leif Davis progressed through the Leeds United youth and secured a position in the senior team. In 2021, he was temporarily transferred to AFC Bournemouth after a few years. After that season, Ipswich Town successfully enticed the defender with a mere £1.2 million.
The English defender has participated in 33 matches thus far in the current season, scoring no goals but providing 10 assists. His average each game includes 1.8 tackles, 1.2 interceptions, and 1 clearances. In terms of attacking, he has an average of 2.9 crucial passes and a passing accuracy rate of over 80% (statistics from whoscored).
