Chelsea preparing €60 million January transfer offer to sign Canada international
Chelsea are reportedly preparing a bid to sign LOSC Lille centre-forward Jonathan David in the January transfer window.
The Blues only scored 38 goals in 38 Premier League games last season. Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who has joined Olympique Marseille now, scored just one goal in 15 league appearances for the Blues.
Meanwhile, Kai Havertz, scored just seven goals in 35 league appearances last season before joining London rivals Arsenal.
Chelsea signed Nicolas Jackson from Villarreal but the striker has flattered to deceive so far, scoring just one goal in four league games. He has missed the most number of big chances (6) in Europe’s top five leagues.Hence, the Blues are looking to strengthen their strike force in January. As per Fichajes.net, they are preparing a €60 million bid for David.
The Canadian striker’s contract with Lille expires in 2025 and the French club might want to sell him next summer.Chelsea, however, are confident that they will be able to sign David for €60 million in January.The 23-year-old joined Lille from KAA Gent in 2020. He has since scored 61 goals and provided 10 assists in 142 games for the French side. He has also earned 42 caps for Canada so far and scored 25 goals.
