Teotino: "Spalletti wants a penalty-box striker with a great header"

August 28, 2026Pablo Navarro1 мин

Journalist Gianfranco Teotino, speaking on Radio Sportiva, shared his thoughts on the transfer market and potential Juventus targets. He suggested that coach Luciano Spalletti is in pursuit of a very specific type of striker: "Spalletti wants a penalty-box striker, a great header of the ball."

When asked about Jonathan David as a potential candidate, Teotino commented on the player's past performance: "David has always been a good striker, he always scored his goals, except for last year, his first at Juventus." This implies that while David has a proven goal-scoring record, his most recent season might have been an anomaly.

Teotino also touched upon the consistency of refereeing decisions. He stated that the key is uniformity within a single match, rather than absolute perfection across all games. While acknowledging some errors in the opening round of matches, he didn't observe significant discrepancies in judgment among the referees.
