Chelsea now expresses keen interest in signing the £31k-p/w “phenomenon” striker

Chelsea has expressed strong interest in signing the striker who has scored 22 goals this season, but his Premier League rivals will compete fiercely for signatures, the report said.

Maresca Short Striker Choice

Enzo Maresca has found himself limited choices for Striker this season, while Nicolas Jackson and Marc Guiu are both present, while Christopher Nkunku has not completely cut down any trees, sometimes criticized by media members.

So, in recent weeks, Pedro Neto has received a nod in the striker, with the Portuguese forward being praised for his performance against Leicester City on Sunday, who was praised for helping Bruce achieve a 1-0 victory.

But given that Neto is not a knockout striker, Maresca may still be keen to make his mark this summer, with a Spanish report showing Lille’s Jonathan David being a “huge desire” from Chelsea, showing a strong interest in Canadians.

David’s form this season means he is the target of five Premier League clubs in the summer, when his Lille contract expires, which means he will get it for free.

Given his wide interest in his signature, the 25-year-old’s arrival to the Premier League has been described as an upcoming appearance, but his destination is still undetermined and negotiations will take place in the coming weeks.

“Phenomenon” David’s season is incredible

The Brooklyn-born striker has been impressed in Ligue 1, most importantly packing 13 league goals in the 2020-21 campaign to help Lille win with a surprise league title.

But given his 22 points in all competitions, he could end up being the best player of the Canadian International to date, with six goals and two assists in his name in nine Champions League games.

There are signs that the £31,000 striker may enter his peak period, meaning this could be a great time for Chelsea to pursue a move, an additional bonus that he will receive free transfers for free.

Gentleman former manager Hein Vanhaezebrook has praised David as a “phenomenon” in the past, and his years of performances to Lille showed that he could solve Chelsea’s forward problem.
