According to reports, Arsenal, Tottenham, and Newcastle United are among the teams in the lead for the possible transfer of Lille attacker Jonathan David. Although nothing has happened for the Canada international yet, he has made an impression in Ligue 1 and has been the focus of numerous transfer rumors tying him to Premier League teams.

While TuttoJuve reports that Arsenal and other teams are expected to dominate the competition for David’s signature, maybe as a result of his exorbitant salary demands, the Italian team does appear interested in signing him. Mikel Arteta’s lack of a natural number nine in his roster is likely to worry some Arsenal supporters, who would prefer to see another alternative up front at some point.

Gunners make €6m plus proposal for Jonathan David

When Jonathan David’s contract with Lille ends in the summer of next year, Arsenal will be in the “front row,” ahead of Manchester United, to sign him. Before the striker’s current contract came to an end, the Red Devils explored a summer transfer for David, with the Ligue 1 team willing to consider him.

After joining Lille for £25 million in the summer of 2020, the 24-year-old scored 87 goals in 190 games for the French team. This summer, he was reportedly one of Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s “top targets,” but the new co-owner of United approved the £36.5 million signing of Bologna’s Joshua Zirkzee instead.
