Liverpool have a top-flight centre-forward line-up with Darwin Nunez and Diogo Jota. The Portuguese attacker has been a priority in Arne Slot’s regime, and the Uruguayan striker is not yet 100% fit.
He is starting to play better and will improve further, but Liverpool are prepared for any eventuality. And the eyes of English clubs are on France.
According to Inter Live, the Reds are looking at the chance to free transfer Canadian international Jonathan David, who is under contract until June 2025.
The Canadian forward, who will be a regular at Lille where he will play from August 2020, has scored 94 goals and provided 20 assists in 198 games so far. He has scored many goals this season and has been highly decisive in the Ligue 1, scoring five goals in eight Ligue 1 games and five in the Champions League throughout qualifying.
He has also scored 29 goals in 56 games for Canada, making his debut in September 2018. He is very likely to be a key player in the national team, which may well be the main protagonist of the tournament at the next World Cup, which will be co-hosted with the USA and Mexico.
Barcelona, Juventus and Inter Milan are also interested in the 24-year-old attacker, who, in addition to his outstanding athleticism, also has excellent technique to keep him close to goal. He is the type of player who can also be physical up front and is physical enough to compete in the Premier League.
Next summer he will have been at Leith for five years and it is time for him to make the step up.
Whether Anfield will be his destination remains to be seen, but which club will the 24-year-old centre-forward leave France to join…?
