West Ham United are reportedly keen on signing Jonathan David in a Bosman move in the summer transfer window.
Jonathan David has been outstanding this season, and he has 33 goal contributions. Barcelona and Newcastle United are keen on LOSC Lille striker, but West Ham have submitted a lucrative offer to sign him, according to a report by SPORT via Sport Witness.
However, a report from Football Insider has added that a summer move to the London Stadium seems unlikely. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Jonathan David will be out of contract in the summer, and he has decided to leave Lille and join a top European club. West Ham are not quite at the level required to win major trophies, and the Canadian international might be keen on joining a bigger club. It remains to be seen whether West Ham can convince the player. They have reportedly submitted an “irresistible offer” to the striker.
The East London outfit are in need of a reliable goalscorer, and David would be a major upgrade on Niclas Fullkrug. He could transform West Ham in the final third and form a lethal partnership with Jarrod Bowen and Mohammed Kudus.
Barcelona and Newcastle United keen on David
Barcelona are looking for a quality long-term replacement for Robert Lewandowski and it is no surprise that they are plotting a move for one of the finest strikers in European football right now. The fact that Jonathan David is available for free makes him a more attractive option. Barcelona are going through financial difficulties, and they need to search for bargains in the market.
Meanwhile, Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak has been linked with a move away from the club, and David could be a quality alternative. It remains to be seen whether Newcastle are prepared to let go of the Swedish international in the summer.
Whoever ends up signing David on a free transfer could have a star on their hands. He has proven himself in the French league and the UEFA Champions League. He is certainly good enough for the Premier League and La Liga.
