Chelsea and Manchester United linked with a bargain £30m move for Ligue 1 star
Ligue 1 superstar and Canadian international Jonathan David have caught the eye of several Premier League elite clubs, including Chelsea and Manchester United, keen on securing his services this summer. This is according to Give Me Sport.
At this point in his career, David wants to be a vital member of any squad he joins. Chelsea are eager to sign the Canadian star this summer, so they shouldn’t be too concerned about his reasonable asking price given the Blues’ track record with unnecessarily expensive transfers.
Teams are holding off on signings as the continental competition is in full swing in Germany and the USA. It’s not the best time to deal with players who can’t complete their medicals.
The 24-year-old has scored 71 goals in 146 league games with Lille. Those are impressive figures, and Chelsea needs to add a talented attacker to their team. David will apparently be available for just £30 million which is a great deal given his amazing stats.
For other French players in the top division, moving to the Premier League hasn’t exactly been the norm lately. Only quality players, like Jonathan David, can secure interest from the clubs at the top level of football.
With only one year remaining on his French club contract, the 24-year-old has made it clear that he is eager to leave and play in the Premier League. A move to an elite club like Chelsea would provide him with the best training to polish his skills even finer.
With players like Marcus Rashford and Alejandro Garnacho established in Manchester United’s lineup, David may be used as a backup option for starters. Chelsea need a quality acquisition to the squad after Nicolas Jackson’s inefficiency in converting chances during last season.
Given the talent Lille’s superstar has, a move to the English League would turn out to be beneficial for him as he would have a chance to push his limits and prove himself at such an elite stage. The Blues need to bring in a quality attacker to gain back their respect after a few poor seasons.
