Chelsea and Manchester United could lock horns over the signing of Jonathan David this summer, despite the growing possibility of Harry Kane being available. The Lille striker has been previously linked with a switch to Arsenal but, following the arrival of Gabriel Jesus in the summer, the Gunners' interest seems to have fizzled out.
football.london understands that Edu held meetings with the player's representatives back in December 2021, but a move failed to materialise. However, the north Londoners' pursuit of David is not reflective of his impressive performances recently; the 23-year-old has featured 31 times for Lille in Ligue 1 this term, directly contributing towards 25 goals.
David has played an integral role in the French outfit's success this season, with Paulo Fonseca's side on course to secure a European qualification spot. With Chelsea and Manchester United clearly in the market for a talisman figure up front, the Canada international has emerged as an attractive option.
