Deprived of Kai Havertz and Gabriel Jesus, Arsenal should again evolve with Mikel Merino in tip against Parisians. What about next season? The British press claims that Arsenal and Liverpool are interested in Jonathan David, the LOSC scorer who could be the best blow of the next summer transfer window because soon free of any contract.

The reassuring words of Thierry Henry
Arsenal fans wonder if John David would turn into a goal machine in the Premier League. Which is far from being obvious for an athletic attacker and thirsty for goals but sometimes transparent. TBR Football recalls that Thierry Henry has already praised the Canadian in 2022 on CBS. “When you have a player like Jonathan David who springs with determination. If he sees the central defender retreat, he will place himself behind and as soon as he sees a space, he benefits. He is also quite strong and loves contact ”described a 98 world champion who was consultant for video bonus on Ligue 1 shocks.
Recruited for more than 30 million euros in 2020 from Genk, Jonathan David carried the LOSC by his goals but no big European club has ever broken his piggy bank for him. In the past two years, the leaders of the DOGUES have set the starting price of the striker now aged 25 to 50 million euros but they will finally lose it without recovering a transfer compensation this summer. If Arsenal makes it its new scorer, the blow would be incredible.
