Earlier this month, we covered claims from Italy that Arsenal are among the clubs chasing Lille’s Jonathan David.
The striker managed 26 goals and nine assists last season and has four goals and two assists from 10 games this season. He has less than a year left on his deal.
David’s contract situation and his fine displays for the Ligue 1 side make him an attractive option for Arsenal and other clubs.
Italian journalist Niccolò Ceccarini, writing in his column for TuttoMercatoWeb, talks about Arsenal’s interest in the player.
Inter Milan have been in the picture to sign the Canada international for a while. Ceccarini says they are joined by their league rivals, Juventus, who have started to show interest in the frontman.
The ‘competition is increasing’ as the Serie A duo have to tussle with Mikel Arteta’s side. They haven’t yet made a ‘decisive move’, but the journalist states the Gunners side could ‘do so soon’.
Therefore, Inter could think of making an approach for David in January, to avoid a ‘risk of an auction’ with Arsenal and Juve.
As well as David, Ceccarini claims Arsenal have ‘never hidden their appreciation’ for Juve’s Dušan Vlahović.
