Davide Santon

Davide Santon (; born 2 January 1991) is an Italian former professional footballer who played as a left wing-back. A former Inter Milan youth product, Santon began his professional club career with Inter in 2008, and remained with the club until 2011, aside from a spell on loan with Cesena. He later had a four-year spell with English club Newcastle United, before returning to Inter in 2015. After three seasons, he signed with Roma.

After emerging through the youth ranks at Inter Milan, Santon was considered among the most promising young fullbacks in world football. However, persistent injury problems hindered his progress and number of appearances. In 2022, Santon announced his retirement at the age of 31, citing injury problems. At international level, Santon made his senior debut with Italy in 2009, represented his nation at the FIFA Confederations Cup later that year, and earned 8 caps in total.
