Manchester United and Arsenal have been linked with Jonathan David, the Canadian international who has impressively scored 84 goals in four seasons since joining Lille. Last season marked a career-best for him with 26 goals, 19 of which came in the league as Lille finished fourth.
Both Premier League clubs are seeking attacking reinforcements. United, having confirmed Anthony Martial’s departure, seek more firepower after a challenging season. Meanwhile, Arsenal under Mikel Arteta could benefit from a prolific scorer to boost their ambitions.
Although Benjamin Sesko chose RB Leipzig over United and Arsenal, this decision may pave the way for David’s potential move to England at a reduced fee.
According to talkSPORT, intermediaries representing David are eager to facilitate his transfer, highlighting his one-year remaining contract at Lille and a reported £30 million valuation.
David, who joined Lille in 2020, boasts 28 goals in 46 appearances for Canada, ranking second in the nation’s men’s international team history. He played a pivotal role in Canada’s 2022 World Cup qualification campaign, despite their early exit in Qatar.
Previously part of Lille’s Ligue 1-winning squad in 2020-21, David also contributed three goals in the Champions League, where Lille reached the round of 16.
Having expressed his ambition for European football since his youth, David remains open to joining a top-tier club, stating his adaptability to both the Premier League and La Liga, citing his experience in France as beneficial for a smooth transition.
