President OFFICIALLY makes statement on future of 24-year old striker Chelsea wants to sign!
Lille president Olivier Letang has sent a warning to Europe’s elite clubs and stated that Jonathan David won’t be sold in January, as CHELSEA are one of the many clubs that are interested in a deal for the Canadian star
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 in 18 games 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 any teams that had hope of signing David in the January window have now been shot down as the President of Lille ha revealed that the striker will not be allowed to leave the club in the January transfer window: “We are counting on the strength of the group, we are very happy to have him with us,” Letang stated during an interview with RMC (h/t Calciomercato).
“This summer he had one year left on his contract, but we were under no pressure to sell him, also because no suitable offers arrived. We have already offered him a renewal, and now the decision is up to him. Jonathan loves the club and Lille is his home.”

Even though David will not be allowed to leave Lille in the January window, CHELSEA can still open talks for the striker as he is out of contract at the end of the season.
The French giants would love the player to stay, but he is ready for that next step in his career.
