Arsenal are still in the search of a proper number nine as they prepare themself to lift the Premier League trophy this season. Arsenal are now back again in striker chase with Jonathan David being the latest name linked with the club. Fabrizio Romano has now provided a key update about David.
What has Fabrizio Romano said about the striker?
Fabrizio Romano told The Debrief that this (David’s situation) is not a topic for October, November, December or January. He added that it will be for the second half of the season.
“He will consider several things, not just financially, the project, the managers, so he is not going to decide now” – Romano speaking about Jonathan David.
Later Romano said that the striker’s agent is surely in talks with several top clubs in England, Spain and Italy. He also added that David is one of the biggest names on the market in the summer of 2025.
Lastly, Romano said that David will take his time before taking any decision and explore his options. But Romano is sure that the striker will leave Lille as a free agent.
On the other hand, Arsenal are said to make a move for David in January. Gunners may view this as getting him before any other clubs and may agree to pay a little to avoid competition. It will depend hugely on what the board things and also how the striker feels at that moment.
What can Arsenal expect from Jonathan David?
David has been improving each year since he joined Lille in 2020. He is only 24 years old but has played 56 matches for his country. In those he has been able to score 29 goals and pick up 10 assists for Canada.
David had 17 goal involvements in fist season with Lille. In the second season, this number increased to 19 before reaching 30 in the third season. Last season it improved even further and reached 33 and reflected the constant progress David has been making.
This season David has been able to score 8 goals and provide 2 assists in 13 games for Lille. He is currently one of the best strikers in Europe and Arsenal can expect a lot from him. They can view him as a clinical striker who guarantees 25+ goal involvements each season and lead the way from front. David can be the last piece missing from Arteta’s dream squad to win the titles.
