Jonathan David’s star had faded a little in recent times after some brilliant seasons leading the line for Lille, but he’s still considered one of the best attackers in Ligue 1, and it seems that eventually the Premier League will come calling for him.
Caughtoffside today report on rumours from France that Chelsea are among the teams monitoring him, with a new attacking option top of the agenda.
We can see the temptation. David is still just 24, but has tons of top flight appearances and goals to his name, giving some assurance that he’s not a total gamble.
What may raise some eyebrows is why no other team has yet gone in for him. What are they seeing that we’re not?
In any case, the chances of Chelsea swooping for a mid range striker seem to have decreased. We think they’re much more likely to hold back in January and go all out for Osimhen in the summer.
