Arsenal & Chelsea keen on signing in-form Canadian star

Arsenal and Chelsea are among clubs interested in signing Lille striker Jonathan David at the end of the season, according to Fabrizio Romano.

The 24-year-old has been a key player up front for the French outfit over the past few years, but he is prepared to walk away when his contract expires next summer.

Lille are also happy to keep him for the remainder of the campaign and Romano claims that there is strong interest from the Premier League in securing his signature.

West Ham United and Nottingham Forest have been linked with him in the past, but there is now high-profile interest from the likes of Arsenal, Spurs and Chelsea too.

David netted 26 goals in the recent campaign for Les Dogues. He has carried over the form this term with eight goals from just 13 appearances in all competitions.

Lille were looking for around £25m to sanction his sale last summer and Romano now reports that he is expected to leave on a free at the end of the season.
