Arsenal, Liverpool & Man United transfer target looks almost certain to leave current club for bargain fee | OneFootball

Arsenal and Liverpool could reportedly be among the transfer suitors for Jonathan David as he looks almost certain to leave Lille for a reduced fee.

The Canada international has been a prolific scorer in Ligue 1 and it makes sense that he has plenty of big clubs interested in him, though it remains to be seen precisely where he could end up next.

David’s current contract with Lille expires at the end of this season, so time could be running out for the French club to cash in on him.

According to Tuttosport, Lille could accept offers in the region of €20-30m to avoid losing David on a free next summer, with Arsenal, Liverpool, Juventus and Inter Milan mentioned as possible suitors.

Meanwhile, Manchester United are also known to have shown an interest in David in recent times, according to Ben Jacobs…

Jonathan David transfer: Who needs him most?

David might not exactly be someone at the top of many clubs’ lists, but he certainly seems like an intriguing market opportunity, hence the long list of names that have supposedly been considering him.

The 24-year-old is a clinical finisher and surely someone who could be an asset to a bigger club in a more competitive league, though it remains to be seen if he’s really the answer for someone like Man Utd right now.

The Red Devils need a major upgrade on struggling young forwards Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund, and David might not be quite enough of a step up from those two.

Liverpool, meanwhile, might also benefit from bringing in someone more reliable than the inconsistent Darwin Nunez, though someone like Alexander Isak might be a more tempting option.

Arsenal also have some issues in attack right now, and David might take the pressure off the likes of Bukayo Saka and Kai Havertz to score all the goals for Mikel Arteta’s side.
