The Canadian international has performed well in Ligue 1 and has been the focus of several transfer rumors involving Premier League teams, but thus far, nothing has come to pass for him.
Juventus is reportedly interested in signing David and teams like Arsenal are expected to dominate the competition for his services.
Given that Mikel Arteta doesn’t actually have a natural number nine in his lineup, some Arsenal supporters may be worried that the team may need another forward option soon.
Although Kai Havertz has done well there when deployed by Arsenal, it is unclear if that will be his best function going forward.
Gabriel Jesus, on the other hand, has been patchy and prone to injury.
Insight into David’s circumstances was given by French football specialist Jonathan Johnson, who predicted that he was unlikely to sign a new deal at Lille.
