Arsenal and Chelsea dealt £50m blow as Bayern Munich hijack 'Robert Lewandowksi heir' transfer

Arsenal and Chelsea each look set to miss out on the signing of Jonathan David as Bayern Munich plot a bid for the 22-year-old. The striker has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League, but, with Robert Lewandowksi reportedly set to leave the Allianz Arena this summer, a switch to the Bundesliga champions beckons.

David featured 38 times for the French giants in Ligue 1 this season, directly contributing towards 15 goals. Despite having played a major role in Lille's title-winning campaign the campaign prior, his impressive displays weren't enough to steer the club beyond a mid-table finish.

However, he's still managed to court interest from a host of top-flight sides - one of whom are Bayern - who see David as a replacement for Robert Lewandowski, according to Sport Bild. The report claims that the German side have identified the Canada international as a candidate to lead the line with the Pole set to join Barcelona this summer.
