Arsenal holds talk with Lille top striker Jonathan David to sign in next transfer

CaughtOffside claims that several teams are interested in signing Lille striker Jonathan David, including Arsenal. Man United and Arsenal are both interested in the Canadian front and have reportedly spoken with the striker’s entourage. It is reported that David, who is in the last year of his Lille contract, is eager to join England’s top division, and Arsenal may offer him that chance.

After playing for Lille for four years, the 24-year-old striker is looking for a fresh challenge, and moving to England is at the top of his list of desires. This season, the former Gent player has been on fire, scoring 11 goals in 14 games, putting clubs on high alert. Although there is a lot of interest from teams like Arsenal, Inter Milan is currently leading the race. Although Arsenal might have a tough time winning the race for the striker if they increase their interest, Inter is keen for a player with David’s status.

Arsenal handed boost in Jonathan David pursuit

The team most interested in signing the Canadian international at this time is Inter Milan. Arsenal and Manchester United have expressed interest in signing the 24-year-old, but he is eager to move to the Premier League. The two English powerhouses have previously discussed a possible deal with David’s group. They are looking for a new number nine. Michael Arteta no longer considers Gabriel Jesus to be a key component of his goals.

The North London teams are prepared to let him go, and since Kai Havertz isn’t exactly a forward, they want to bring in a goal scorer with experience. Even if David isn’t the most intriguing player on their shortlist, he can be a good add, and since he’ll be a free agent, it would be a great deal.
