According to a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, Jonathan David has a considerable market in the Premier League. Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester United are keen on signing the soon-to-be-free striker in a Bosman move in the summer transfer window. The English giants have held talks with his representatives as he prepares to leave LOSC Lille as a free agent.
Jonathan David has established himself as one of the most productive strikers in the world since joining LOSC Lille from KAA Gent in August 2020. The North American attacker’s output has been synonymous with the Ligue 1 club’s fortunes, and he has been on top of his game for several seasons.
The 25-year-old has contributed to 33 goals in 44 appearances across all competitions this term, finding the back of the net 23 times and providing 10 assists. However, David’s spell with LOSC Lille will end in the summer transfer window as his contract will expire on June 30. The situation has piqued the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe, including Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester United.
Arsenal will dip into the market for a striker heading into the summer transfer window amid Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus’s struggles in front of the goal. So, David has emerged as a viable target for the North London club. As for Chelsea, Nicolas Jackson and Marc Guiu have been impressive in the final third for the West London club.
However, Enzo Maresca wants more firepower in the final third, compelling Chelsea to identify Jonathan David as a target. Meanwhile, Liverpool’s interest in the Canadian international makes sense. Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota have blown hot and cold this season, and at least one of those players will depart from Anfield in the summer transfer window.
So, David has emerged as a viable target for Liverpool. As for Manchester United, Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee have not been prolific enough in the final third. So, Manchester United will dip into the market for a striker in the summer transfer window, with David an option worth considering.
Arsenal, Chelsea, Liverpool, and Manchester United have held talks with David’s entourage over a possible Bosman move in the summer transfer window. With the 25-year-old Canadian international reportedly keen on moving to the Premier League, it will not be surprising to see him join one of the English bigwigs.
