The Spanish club <a href=\"https:\/\/www.realvalladolid.es\/noticia\/weissman-2024\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">announced<\/a> their new signing on Monday as they look to bolster their attacking options.<\/p>\n<p>Weissman was a proven goal scorer last season, with 30 goals in 31 appearances for Wolfsberger AC.<\/p>\n<h2>Shon Weissman Joins Real Valladolid<\/h2>\n<h3>A Much-Needed Signing<\/h3>\n<p>This is a great addition to Valladolid&#8217;s squad ahead of the 2020\/21 La Liga campaign. They struggled to score last season, with only 32 goals coming in 38 matches. Only relegated clubs Leganes and Espanyol scored fewer goals during the La Liga season.<\/p>\n<p>Valladolid did not have a goalscorer last season who reached double digits. Sergi Guardiola was the closest with eight goals, as he accounted for 25% of their league goals.<\/p>\n<p>Weissman has the opportunity to enter into the squad and make a difference from the start. He&#8217;s proven he can score goals at a consistent rate in Austria. Although it&#8217;s unlikely he will be able to match his 30 goal total from last season, he&#8217;s certainly a player capable of scoring 10 goals or more.<\/p>\n<h3>Goal Machine<\/h3>\n<p>The 24-year-old Israel international burst onto the scene in Austra&#8217;s top division last season. His performance at Wolfsberger was by far the most impressive of his career. It only took him one season at the Austrian club to earn a place on a La Liga squad.<\/p>\n<p>Valladolid appears to be the perfect entry into a higher quality league for Weissman. They are a mid-table club that have struggled to score goals. This will be their third season in La Liga since earning promotion three years ago. Since then they&#8217;ve gone on to finish in 16th and 13th place.<\/p>\n<p>Weissman can only help Valladolid during the upcoming campaign. They need a consistent goal scorer and he&#8217;s the right man for the job. His contributions could very well be the reason why Valladolid stay in La Liga at the end of the season.<\/p>\n<p>Main Photo<br \/>\n<a id=\"j7uL8ZMEQ-ttN_TYX_6pdg\" class=\"gie-single\" style=\"color: #a7a7a7; text-decoration: none; font-weight: normal !important; border: none; display: inline-block;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.gettyimages.co.uk\/detail\/1223819338\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Embed from Getty Images<\/a><script>window.gie=window.gie||function(c){(gie.q=gie.q||[]).push(c)};gie(function(){gie.widgets.load({id:'j7uL8ZMEQ-ttN_TYX_6pdg',sig:'V_tp5l6UpKKrX8O3xzBh0yrjvdaKj9Kaoio-Gb7cIVM=',w:'594px',h:'396px',items:'1223819338',caption: true ,tld:'co.uk',is360: false })});<\/script><script src='\/\/embed-cdn.gettyimages.com\/widgets.js' charset='utf-8' async><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>La Liga club Real Valladolid have signed the 2019\/20 Austrian Bundesliga Golden Boot winner Shon Weissman.
