Liverpool eyeing Canadian striker Jonathan David
Liverpool are said to be in the market for a prolific striker next season. The Reds sit at the top of the Premier League table this season, but many forwards in the team have been out of form and not performed up to expectations.
With Darwin Nunez, Diogo Jota and Luiz Diaz failing to impress Slot, the Dutchman will be looking to sign a prolific striker for next season and bolster the attacking depth in the squad.
Liverpool are eyeing a summer deal for Jonathan David.
Arne Slot can do with a player who is versatile in attack.
According to TuttoJuve, Liverpool are said to be interested in signing Jonathan David from Lille in the summer. However, it is also reported that the Reds are said to be facing competition from a number of clubs for the 25-year-old’s signature. Juventus, Manchester United, and Arsenal are all said to be interested in signing the ex-Gent striker.
David has had an impressive campaign up till now. As per Sofascore, the Canada international has scored a staggering 23 goals and provided 10 assists in 40 games in all competitions for Lille. The talented striker also has a 7.25 rating this season and has managed to create 14 big chances for his team.
Will David be a good fit for the Reds?
Darwin Nunez looks more and more likely to leave Anfield this summer and Liverpool will be hoping to find an ideal replacement as soon as possible in a cut-price deal.
Jonathan David fits that bill perfectly. The Lille striker is known for his explosive pace and making runs behind the defensive channels. Arne Slot’s playstyle suits the 25-year-old as Liverpool tend to play on the counter and David is very good in holding the ball up and playing on transitions. The Canada international is equally good with both feet and is a ‘fox inside the box’.

This is something David excels at as he can occupy the defenders and create space for others. All in all, Jonathan David will be a perfect fit for the Reds and will bring a new dynamic to the team.
