Jonathan David is a player who we’ve seen Chelsea linked with many times over the years.
No Premier League team has yet taken the plunge on the talented Lille attacker, who has just continued scoring regularly in Ligue 1 and waiting for his chance. This feels like the summer that someone makes their move though, and Man U, Aston Villa, Newcastle and Chelsea are all in the group of teams considering an offer, Caughtoffside claim.
The Canadian is also on Brentford’s radar, as the prepare for life post Ivan Toney.
David has just turned 24, so he’s a little older than the players we’ve seen signed over the last couple of years under the new ownership. But that bit of experience could help the team a lot,
He’s valued at €50m by Transfermarkt, so he won’t come cheap, especially if all of those teams linked to him do make their interest serious. But for a player with more than 108 career goals before their 25th birthday, that’s not a bad price.
