Arsenal now want to sign £38m striker with 23 goals & 10 assists this season | OneFootball

Arsenal are interested in signing one of Ligue 1’s in-form strikers.

TuttoJuve claims Gunners are monitoring Jonathan David, who could leave Lille on a free transfer when his contract expires on June 30.

They face competition from nine more clubs, including Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur in England.

David would be a quality signing on a free transfer

Arteta will want a marquee striker ahead of next season. Newcastle United’s Alexander Isak and RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko are the top two choices, as per journalist Fabrizio Romano.

Sesko is the more achievable target among the two, considering the Magpies may not sell Isak if they qualify for the Champions League next season.

With the lesser outlay required for Sesko, Arsenal could contemplate signing another striker.

David would be a huge bargain on a free transfer. The 25-year-old has been fabulous for Lille this campaign, registering 23 goals and 10 assists.

The striker, valued at £38 million by Transfermarkt, has shown his big-game potential with nine goals and four assists in the Champions League, including the qualifiers.

David has opened the door for a Premier League move. It is unclear whether he would accept a reduced role. Arsenal may not see him as their first-choice striker.
