Chelsea STILL have chance to sign top-class striker after latest development
It seems that long-term CHELSEA transfer target Jonathan David is still on the transfer market, despite the many reports in the media which have claimed that the striker is in talks with Italian giants Inter Milan about a summer move
David has earned a reputation as one of the finest strikers in Europe’s top five leagues. The 24-year-old has scored 97 goals in 202 appearances for the Ligue 1 giants. His displays alone have caught the attention of some of the biggest teams in the game.
He has scored 13 goals for Lille this season and with Chelsea seemingly still interested in adding a new striker to that attack, there has been talk that the Blues are ready to open up negotiations with the striker and come to some sort of pre-agreement deal that sees him get signed at the end of the season.
But now Per Sky Sports’ Florian Plettenberg, Canada international and Lille forward Jonathan David is not in talks to join Serie A giants Inter. The 24-year-old has been linked with a move away from the French club with Bayern Munich, Inter and several Premier League clubs eager to sign him.
Any teams that had hope of signing David in the January window were recently shot down, as the Canadian star has hinted that he will not leave Lille in the middle of the season: “Going to a club mid-season is never easy,” David told The Athletic.
“It’s not like the beginning of a season where you have a pre-season, you get to know your teammates, you have time to gel.
“In January, things are very hectic. It’s about right now. It’s tougher.”

David has been linked with a whole host of big clubs for the last few seasons, there is alot of interest in the player, so it will be interesting to see where he ends up.
CHELSEA are one of the clubs that are interested, it seems that the board are keen to sign David on a free, but as we said, he will have plenty of options in the coming windows and needs to make the right career choice.
But we would not be surprised to see him snub a move to the Premier League that is for sure.
