Arsenal somehow still in for Jonathan David as two Premier League rivals added to perpetual rumour.

Arsenal, Tottenham and Newcastle United are reportedly three of seven clubs interested in signing Lille striker Jonathan David on a free transfer next summer.

He has got a Houssem Aouar feel to ufabet https://ufabet999.app him. A Ligue 1 player perpetually linked with a transfer to the Premier League, has probably been watch once or twice by your average Premier League fan, and has a consistently declining asking price. It all adds up.

Arsenal have always in the picture as well, making it even better.

David has a solid scoring record in France, finding the back of the net 92 times in 196 appearances for Lille, helping them win a league title in 2020/21.

He has an impressive eight goals in 13 matches this term and is out of contract next year, which has unsurprisingly caught the attention of several clubs across Europe.

There were links to Arsenal and Manchester United during his Gent days but David join Lille for around £23million.

In December 2021, the player’s agent said David would be on the move the following summer, but that obviously did not come to fruition.

A £50m valuation in 2021 became £40m in 2022, £30m in 2023. And was between £15-20m in 2024, with one year remaining on his contract.

No club snapped up David in the summer transfer window despite his low asking price, leaving him able to negotiate a pre-contract from January 1.

That means we have plenty more Jonathan David transfer stories to look forward to. Lucky you. Lucky us!

Jonathan David to Arsenal, Newcastle or Tottenham?

FC Barcelona and AC Milan are both very keen on signing the 24-year-old.

Barcelona are unsurprisingly keen as Hansi Flick works with a shoestring budget. Club president Joan Laporta has signed several players following the expiry of their contract and David could be next.
