Chelsea are surely going to sign a new striker this summer. They may go for David due to his availability as free agent. But, as of now they have Liam Delap as the top target. Hence, it is very uncertain if they will make a move for David in summer.
As for Man United, signing David will be very useful for them especially amidst the ongoing financial troubles. They are set to move-on from both Joshua Zirkzee and Rasmus Hojlund.
Spurs are set to move on from Timo Werner as they will not make a permanent move for him. In addition, they can also part ways with Richarlison and hence a new striker is very likely to be expected.
Lastly, Newcastle United will have a major job in the summer window. They may be forced to sell Isak and hence the club will be very active to find his perfect replacement. David can find it hard to fill shoes of Isak, but can still do a decent job considering that he will arrive on free transfer.
