As a striker who aspires to be a top-tier number nine, he is being pursued by Arsenal, Aston Villa, and Newcastle United. His Champions League performance seems to have marked a sea change in his career.

The most well-known goal of his career was scored at the start of October by a man who is probably going to be the most sought-after free agent in 2025.

Atletico felt the pain of their rivals, Real Madrid, this week.

According to information obtained by TBR, Aston Villa, Newcastle United, Arsenal, Chelsea, Brighton, and West Ham are all keeping a close eye on David. And David’s calmness in putting his most recent penalty kick past Jan Oblak in the last minutes at the Premier League will have impressed his numerous fans.

Newcastle and Arsenal boosted as Milan rule themselves out of Jonathan David

Things would get even better for David and Lille in Madrid that night.

Lille defeated both Real and Atletico in consecutive Champions League matches, thanks to a late blocked volley.

David’s game-winning performances on the biggest stages should assist preserve the poacher’s small amount of market worth if Les Dogues decide to sell in January while they still have the opportunity.

Additionally, one of the most well-known teams rumored to be interested in David has recently withdrawn their interest, which is fantastic news for all of the English teams vying for his services.

Despite the fact that Luka Jovic and Tommy Abraham are both injured, AC Milan manager Paulo Fonseca insists the Rossoneri will not be searching for a center forward in January.

“I’m very happy with the players I have,” Fonseca told reporters prior to Milan’s 3-1 victory over Club Brugge. We have a lot of faith in [wonderkid Francesco] Camarda, but Abraham and Jovic shouldn’t be out.

Milan has four first-team players who can play as a nine because Alvaro Morata is already there. Without a doubt, Fonseca doesn’t think there’s much of a rationale to attempt a fifth.

Fabrizio Romano believes David will leave Lille for free

David has scored 10 goals in 15 games this season.

Neither Chelsea nor Arsenal have a “proper” number nine, and Callum Wilson’s most recent injury limits Newcastle’s offensive options. It may be a big deal for them if they can obtain the New York-born Canada international for free or a little charge in the winter.

“He is undoubtedly speaking with several clubs in England, Italy, and Spain—not himself, but his agent.”

“Jonathan David is among the most well-liked names for the summer of 2025.” Again, he will hesitate before deciding. This is not for 2024 or the present.

“I believe Jonathan David will leave Lille as a free agent, but he will consider his options.”

Lucas Chevalier, David’s Lille colleague, may replace Ederson as Manchester City’s goalie, according to information obtained by TBR.
