Report coming down from FABRIZIO ROMANO via strike90mins, From all the premier league clubs Manchester united is ready to sign the highly rated and best fitted lille striker in the summer transfer window with the sum of โฌ25m Manchester united fans are delighted with the news fans can’t wait to welcome the player into the team in this summer transfer ๐ฑ๐๐ฑ๐ซฃ
Manchester United is reportedly keen on acquiring Lille’s highly-regarded striker Jonathan David during the summer transfer window, joining several other Premier League clubs in the chase.
Erik ten Hag’s squad is expected to bolster their attacking options this summer, given that they scored the fewest goals among the top seven Premier League teams last season. The Red Devils netted 57 goals in the 2023-24 league season, which is one less than Brentford, who finished in 16th place, and nearly 30 fewer than Newcastle United, who placed just above them.
Only two Manchester United players scored in double figures in the Premier League last season. Kobbie Mainoo, who scored just three goals, was their sixth-highest goalscorer. This statistic underscores the pressing need for Ten Hag’s team to recruit a striker this summer, especially with the impending departure of Anthony Martial, whose contract is nearing its end.
Manchester United has reportedly set their sights on Jonathan David as a summer acquisition. According to HITC, the club views the Lille striker as a potential partner for Rasmus Hojlund in the attack next season. However, United will face significant competition from other Premier League clubs, including West Ham United, Chelsea, and Tottenham Hotspur, who are all keeping an eye on the Canadian international.
Chelsea is searching for a new striker after Nicolas Jackson’s inconsistent first season at Stamford Bridge. Meanwhile, Spurs have yet to secure a long-term replacement for Harry Kane, who transferred to Bayern Munich at the beginning of last season.
Jonathan David has been previously linked with a move to England and has expressed a desire to play in the Premier League, despite interest from clubs in Italy, Germany, and Spain. Reports indicate that David could make his move this summer, with a potential transfer fee as low as ยฃ25 million.
