“He’s like a twin to me; he knows when and where to pass the ball…”I can’t wait to see him here”: Bukayo Saka expresses his views about 23-year-old striker joining Arsenal, as personal terms are already settled.

According to recent reports from the French newspaper L’Equipe, Arsenal may finally secure the signing of Canadian forward Jonathan David this summer. The striker has been on Arsenal’s radar for several months as the club aims to bolster its attacking options before the transfer window closes in the coming weeks.

While Arsenal has expressed interest in other forwards, including Brentford’s Ivan Toney and Napoli’s Victor Osimhen, David appears to be a more financially viable option, with a valuation around £50 million. Recent developments indicate that Arsenal could make a move for the 24-year-old after he reportedly turned down an offer to join Roma. Despite this, David remains keen to leave Lille.

David has long been linked with a departure from Lille due to his outstanding performances in Ligue 1, which have attracted significant interest from various clubs. However, despite the rumors, he has so far remained with the French club.

As Arsenal aims to strengthen its squad for a successful Premier League campaign, acquiring players who can make an immediate impact is crucial. While there are some questions about whether David is the right solution for Arsenal’s needs, his dynamic movement and energy suit Mikel Arteta’s attacking philosophy. At £50 million, he could be viewed as a valuable addition to the team.

If Arsenal is serious about signing Jonathan David, now may be the ideal moment to secure the deal before other clubs enter the race for his signature.
