The 23-year-old striker says Barcelona is his favorite club. Jonathan David, a striker for LOSC Lille who has emerged as one of Europe’s most exciting prospects lately, recently revealed Barcelona as his preferred team. The Canadian player, 23, has been sensational for the Ligue 1 team this year.
In 30 games across all competitions this season, David has tallied 21 goals and contributed four assists. Several Premier League teams are keen on hiring him, including Manchester United and Arsenal.
Barcelona was David’s favorite team, though. “Barcelona has always been my favorite club since I was a kid,” he said in a statement to Winamax FC.
In the summer, David is anticipated to depart Lille. Despite having a contract through 2025, Lille manager Paulo Fonseca acknowledged last year that it would be challenging for the team to retain the star for the upcoming campaign.
It will be challenging to retain Jonathan David at the club next season, Fonseca said to La Voix de Sports. In Europe, there aren’t many strikers with his abilities and statistics. He is only 22. Top European clubs, in my opinion, will attempt to sign Jonathan David.
Due to David’s outstanding play, Lille is currently sixth in Ligue 1 with 49 points after 28 games.
This season, Anthony Elanga has isolated himself at Manchester United. Only seven of the Swedish attacker’s 24 starts this season as a starter in the starting XI resulted in three assists. Barcelona was rumored to be interested in signing Elanga in January, and the Swede has now verified the reports.
When asked by the Swedish publication Expressen if the allegations were accurate, Elanga responded, “That was in January,” according to Barca Universal. United is competing in the FA Cup and the UEFA Europa League in addition to having already won the Carabao Cup this season. The Red Devils are also in a good position to end in the top four of the Premier League and qualify for the UEFA Champions League the following year.
We have a long season remaining, so we have to finish as well as we can, Elanga said about the significance of having a strong finish. We have now succeeded in receiving a prize. In addition to playing in the Europa League, we are currently in the FA Cup quarterfinals. That is our main priority.
Newcastle United will be the opponent of Manchester United’s first match after the hiatus in the Premier League.
