Newcastle United are reportedly keen on signing Jonathan David from Ligue 1 club LOSC Lille in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Give Me Sport, Newcastle United have now made an approach for Jonthan David. The Canadian international striker is on the radar of Chelsea and Tottenham as well.
Jonathan David had an impressive 2023/24 campaign with LOSC Lille, and he scored 26 goals in all competitions. He could prove to be a quality acquisition for Newcastle, and it will be interesting to see if they can get the deal done.
The reported £25 million valuation is quite affordable for a club with Newcastle United’s resources, and they should be able to get the deal done. Newcastle have been overly dependent on Alexander Isak for goals, and they need more support in the attack. David could form a lethal partnership with the Swedish international and transform Newcastle going forward.
Callum Wilson has been a reliable performer, but his availability remains a concern. In addition, he faces an uncertain future at St. James’ Park heading into the summer transfer window. Newcastle should look to plan for the future, and signing a quality young striker like David would be a wise decision. The Canadian international will be eager to prove himself in the Premier League, and the opportunity to join Newcastle will be quite attractive for him.
The Tyneside outfit are one of the wealthiest clubs in the world right now, and they have an ambitious project. They will look to put together a formidable squad for the future, and David will surely wants to be a part of the revolution.
Chelsea and Tottenham eyeing David
Chelsea and Tottenham are looking to add more cutting edge in the final third, and it is no surprise that they are looking at Jonathan David this summer. The Canadian international could prove to be a quality acquisition for both clubs, and he could solve their goalscoring problems.
The opportunity to play for Chelsea or Tottenham will certainly be a far more attractive option for the player, and it remains to be seen how the situation develops. All three English clubs have the financial resources to pay the £25 million asking price, and it will be interesting to see who manages to convince the player in the end.
David will want to join an ambitious club with a clear plan for his development. Whoever ends up signing the Canadian international could have a future star on their hands. West Ham United are reportedly in the race to sign the player as well.
