Over the summer, Udinese needed to replace Beto very quickly after selling him to Everton, and took a gamble on Keinan Davis, then at Aston Villa, who had just returned from a loan at Watford.
The Pozzo family connection clearly had something to do with it, and the Serie A side spent around €2.3m on the player, who has yet to feature for them because of injury.
The former Aston Villa has been on the sidelines without playing a minute, and Mondo Udinese explain he is ‘struggling with recovery from his calf injury’.
The striker has been ‘in the pits’ since the start of the season, and even allude to the possibility of him living in the coming weeks.
They explain his future with the Serie A side is ‘not so certain’, because the striker ‘has admirers in both the Premier League and the Championship’.
Therefore, ‘there is a possibility’ he could make a surprise return to England after an ‘unhappy’ period in Udine, mere months after his Aston Villa exit.
The coming weeks will reportedly ‘be decisive’ for both the club and the player in order to understand what the future holds for him in Italy.
