According to Jeunesfooteux, Lille striker David is the priority transfer target for Chelsea in January.
David debuted at Ottawa Fearless Youth Training Camp in Canada. He returned to Gent in 2018. He played 83 games during his time with Ghent, scored 37 goals and contributed 15 assists.
In August 2020, David chose to join Lille from Ghent and made leaps and bounds. Last season, the Canadian international played 48 games for Lyon in various competitions and scored 19 goals.
Now the 22-year-old has proven in Ligue 1 that he is one of the emerging strikers in world football. This season, the Canadian international, worth 45 million euros, made 11 games in Ligue 1 , scoring 9 goals and becoming the top scorer of the season. At the same time, the young player has also been drafted by the national team, and has been drafted 30 times so far and has scored 20 goals. He is still an attractive option for the giants.
In the past, many connections have not been implemented, and now David will have the opportunity to join a top club. Porter is keen on strengthening the front lineup, and Chelsea is interested in the 45 million euro Ligue 1 striker.
Potter just took over the position from Tuheer a few weeks ago, and he is keen on establishing his authority. He is preparing to reorganize the team in his own style, and the Chelsea new coach will start reinforcements in January.
One of the issues that Porter is concerned about is the position of the center. He wanted a fatal choice to lead the line. Aubameyang was doing well when the last day arrived, but he lacked the killer instinct that Porter wanted his number one shooter to have. Although David has no advantages in physical condition, he has a good sense of the ball, fast speed and strong explosiveness, so the move to introduce the 22-year-old player will become a reality.
Lille fell into financial difficulties in the summer. After selling several players, they found a balance and they were willing to hear the striker’s offer in January.
In addition, according to Jeunesfooteux, David will leave Lille midway through the season, which will increase Chelsea's chances of signing him, and Porter hopes his team will do better in the league and European arena.
