Six months and then gone? After stacking goals for Lille for five seasons, Jonathan David decided not to extend his contract in the North and join Juventus Turin on a free last summer. A choice that is not paying off, for the moment.
In 12 matches played with the Piedmontese team (all competitions combined), the 25-year-old Canadian striker has only scored one small goal. It was against Parma, last August 24 in Serie A. An eternity for a scorer of his stature and who is starting to seriously make Turin cringe.
So much so that a departure this winter is being mentioned by the transalpine press. Overtaken by Dusan Vlahovic in the hierarchy of Juventini attackers, Jonathan David risks seeing his playing time further decrease under the orders of the new Bianconero coach, Luciano Spalletti, who would like to see the Serbian international extend his lease.
David to the Premier League?
“ Vlahovic knows what it means to play for Juventus, and he wants to continue despite the fact that his contract with the club only runs until next June. In fact, he would be happy to stay here longer », Recently declared the ex-Naples coach.
Already interested in the Canadian last summer, Tottenham and Chelsea would carefully monitor the situation of the former Lille player, according to information from La Gazzetta dello Sport. It must be said that the clubs capable of affording Jonathan David should not be legion, the player with the second highest salary in La Vaille Dame, with almost 8 million euros per year.
