Manchester City will reportedly look to sign 24-year-old Canadian international Jonathan David from Ligue 1 club LOSC Lille in the January transfer window.
According to a report by Graeme Bailey on TBR Football, Jonathan David is the subject of interest from Manchester City. The Premier League champions are scouring the market for a striker heading into the January transfer window. So, the LOSC Lille centre-forward has emerged as a target, with the Premier League champions mulling over a winter move for the 24-year-old.
The rise and rise of Jonathan David
Jonathan David has been one of the best players in Ligue 1 since joining LOSC Lille from KAA Gent in August 2020. While the player has endured a few bouts of inconsistency, he has established himself as a pivotal figure for Les Dogues in the last four and a half years.
The 24-year-old has continued being excellent thus far this season, contributing to 22 goals in 26 appearances across all competitions by finding the back of the net 17 times and providing five assists. However, David’s productive spell with LOSC Lille will end next year, as he has entered the final seven months of his contract with the Ligue 1 club and will not sign a new deal.
The situation has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several high-profile clubs across Europe. Premier League bigwigs, in particular, are keen on signing the Canadian international, with Manchester City among his prospective suitors heading into the January transfer window.
Premier League move on the horizon?
Manchester City’s interest in Jonathan David is understandable. The Premier League champions are scouring the market for a striker heading into the January transfer window after choosing not to sign a long-term replacement for Julian Alvarez, who joined Atletico Madrid earlier this year.
With Manchester City’s overdependence on Erling Haaland clear, they should invest in a top-class striker who can be a quality alternative to the Norwegian international. So, David has emerged as a viable target for Manchester City, and the Premier League champions can sign him for a price much lower than his market value (as relayed by TBR Football) of £50 million.
However, it is unclear if LOSC Lille will be open to cashing in on the 24-year-old Canadian international in the January transfer window. Meanwhile, Manchester City will hope to turn the player’s head with an enticing offer next month.
