Newcastle United are keen to sign Jonathan David from French side LOSC Lille.
according to Everything JuveNewcastle United will compete with Inter Milan and Juventus for the 24-year-old Canadian international striker. According to reports, they are the favorites to do the deal and are willing to outbid the two Italian clubs to sign the player.
He has also been linked with Liverpool and Arsenal.
It’s no secret that Newcastle need attacking reinforcements. They have been too reliant on Alexander Isak for goals. The Swedish international needs more support in attack and David would be a quality acquisition. He could share the goalscoring load with Isak and form a lethal partnership with the Sweden international.

It remains to be seen whether Newcastle will make a bid to sign the player in January.
Jonathan David would be a quality addition
David was linked with a move to the French club during the summer transfer window, but it did not materialise. He will no doubt be hoping to land an exciting move in January.
The striker scored 26 goals in all competitions last season and has also started the current campaign in impressive form. He recently scored a hat trick in his last outing against Le Havre.
He has the quality to succeed in the Premier League and will look to hit the ground running in English football if the move goes through. It will be interesting to see if Newcastle can convince him to reject a move to the Italian clubs and join them instead.
