Liverpool are reportedly keen on signing Jonathan David from French outfit LOSC Lille.
The Canadian international striker is a man in demand this summer and a report from CaughtOffside claims that the likes of Arsenal, Chelsea and Aston Villa are keen on the player as well.
The French outfit are holding out for a fee of around €45-50 million, and it remains to be seen whether Liverpool can get the deal done. Liverpool are prepared to offer him a long-term contract of around four to five years.
David will be attracted to the idea of playing for a big club and Liverpool are certainly one of the biggest in the world. They could certainly use more quality and depth in the attacking unit and the Canadian international would be a useful acquisition. He will add goals and creativity to the side. David contributed towards 35 goals in all competitions last season. He scored 26 goals and picked up nine assists along the way.
Darwin Nunez has not been able to score goals consistently, and Liverpool need a quality alternative. The Canadian would be a superb addition.

Meanwhile, Arsenal need a quality striker as well. Gabriel Jesus scored just four goals in the league last season and they cannot to win the league title with him leading the line. David could solve their goalscoring problem.
Similarly, Chelsea need an upgrade on Nicolas Jackson, who has not been able to live up to the expectations. The Blues need a reliable striker if they are to push for Champions League qualification this season.
The Canadian international striker will want to play for a club capable of pushing for major trophies, and the likes of Liverpool and Arsenal could provide him with that opportunity.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa are keeping tabs on his situation as well. They have Ollie Watkins at their disposal but have been overly dependent on the England international. They need more options in the attack, especially now that they are in the Champions League. It remains to be seen whether they can get a deal for the Canadian international striker across the line.
