Why Newcastle should beat Leicester to the signing of Lorenzo De Silvestri

Newcastle had a fairly decent campaign on their return to the Premier League, finishing in 10th place, just 3 points behind Leicester City. Though they didn’t really start their season in the best way, they certainly finished it in style with a 3-0 win against Chelsea. The numbers or figures from their end of the season stats can help a lot in deciding where to place the bet for their upcoming campaign in the Premier League. Online betting India offers amazing odds and also a lot of different options for you to make a wise decision about the whole betting scene.

Rafael Benitez will now be looking ahead to the new season, and to bolster his squad in order to keep the momentum going for the Magpies. Defensively, they improved vastly towards the end, but additional signings would surely help enhance their backline.

Lorenzo De Silvestri is one such name that has turned up in a lot of speculations. The Torino defender is said to be a target for both Leicester City and Newcastle United, with both top flight clubs understood to have watched the 30-year-old in action. De Silvestri was a regular for Torino, playing 39 times over the season and scoring five times, with four assists to his name, and has six caps for his country. He also averaged 1.1 tackles and 0.8 interceptions in the league this season.

The Italian club want to keep hold of the full-back, but a lucrative offer from abroad could be too great to turn down, especially when it is from a Premier League club.  Rafa Benitez will be looking to seal the deal as soon as possible, so he can bring him in for the pre-season tour and get the Italian right back prepped up for the new campaign. Newcastle don’t really have a regular first choice right back and the signing of De Silvestri could solve that problem right away.
