Arsenal has the opportunity to sign Jonathan David for a reduced fee this summer as Lille prepares to cash in on the striker.
David has been one of the top performers in Europe over the last few seasons, consistently contending for the leading scorer title in France. The brilliance of Kylian Mbappe has prevented him from winning the top scorer award, but the Canadian remains one of the finest attackers in Ligue 1.
Every summer, David is linked with a move to a top club like Arsenal, but he has stayed at Lille. However, with his contract expiring in 2025, Lille is now eager to sell him while they can and have set a reasonable asking price for his signature.
According to Talk Sport, Lille is prepared to sell him for around £30 million, significantly less than his valuation last summer.
Just Arsenal Opinion
David has been around European football for some time, and he might just be a good signing for us.
However, he is not a prolific striker, and we need one to topple Manchester City in the Premier League.
There are other strikers who have better numbers than him, and we should focus on signing one of them.

not a target, not happening – price irrelevant
Fake news by players agent to get better contract extension with existing club. Usual fake news story by another agent.
Arsenal has never been interested.
Rightly put
I pray Arsenal gets serious and signs Gyokeres from Sporting Lisbon
I love the guy , they way he play and score
But have never heard Arsenal being interested in David than Manchester United who have been trying to sign him. Arsenal has never made a move for him
Arsenal should be looking at the likes of Cuhna , Isak , Osimehin and Victor
Well.
I don’t think Arsenal is ready to buy any new player.
Wishing can never be real.
Even if we ask them to buy David,, Edu would start prizing from £15m as if he is prizing pepper in the village market.
I am not keen on any new signings because, I know there won’t be any until the last day when they will sign 1 player with all inlogical stupid excuses.
At least not the current arsenal.
I’m sure a good signing is coming to arsenal
