Newcastle United will reportedly compete with Arsenal, Chelsea, and West Ham United for 24-year-old LOSC Lille striker Jonathan David.
According to a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, Jonathan David is the subject of interest from Newcastle United. The Magpies are among the clubs keen on securing a pre-contract agreement in January. Meanwhile, the 24-year-old LOSC Lille striker is also a target for Arsenal, Chelsea, and West Ham United.
Jonathan David and his journey at LOSC Lille
Jonathan David has established himself as one of the best players in Ligue 1 since joining LOSC Lille from KAA Gent in August 2020. He has gone from strength to strength in the last four years, becoming a mainstay in the final third for his club and country.
The 24-year-old has turned out nearly 200 times thus far for LOSC Lille while amassing 88 goals and 20 assists. Meanwhile, David’s progress at the Ligue 1 club has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known clubs, especially in the Premier League. Newcastle United, Arsenal, Chelsea, and West Ham United are among his prospective suitors.
A man in demand
Recent reports have claimed that Arsenal and the Canadian international have been in contact regarding a pre-contract agreement over a Bosman move in the 2025 summer transfer window. With Gabriel Jesus struggling to produce the goods in front of the goal, David is a viable target for Arsenal.
Meanwhile, Chelsea’s interest in Jonathan David is understandable. The West London club could not sign Victor Osimhen in the summer transfer window and will look to land a clinical striker next year. As for Newcastle United, they have opened talks with David’s representatives regarding a pre-contract agreement, which they can sign in January.
Newcastle United’s interest in David is somewhat perplexing, considering Alexander Isak is the undisputed first-choice striker for the Tyneside outfit. Meanwhile, West Ham United can do with a striker like David, considering Niclas Fullkrug is on the wrong side of 30. The Canadian striker will be an upgrade on Michail Antonio and Danny Ings, apart from Fullrug.
With Newcastle United discussing a possible Bosman move with the 24-year-old, Arsenal, Chelsea, and West Ham United need to step up and beat the Magpies to his signature. It will be interesting to see where the LOSC Lille striker lands next year.
