Jonathan David desperate for Premier League transfer but Lille slap huge fee on striker | The Sun

JONATHAN DAVID wants to move to the Premier League this summer, according to reports.

The Canadian ace was in prolific form for Lille last term.

David, 23, bagged 24 Ligue 1 goals – attracting plenty of interest in the process.

According to French outlet Foot Mercato, the striker wants to leave Stade Pierre-Mauroy this summer.

He would ideally like to push for a move to England, but Lille won't let him go on the cheap.

Les Dogues are set to demand at least £43million for their star forward – and a bidding war could further drive up the price.

No offers have yet been placed for David.

But Tottenham, Manchester United and Chelsea have all been cited as potential suitors.

While Arsenal could also enter the mix, having been linked in the past.

David joined Lille from Gent in 2020, and has been prolific ever since.
