Chelsea eyeing move for Ligue 1 striker in January

Chelsea are considering a move for Lille striker Jonathan David in the January transfer window.

With the addition of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang a short-term solution to the Chelsea striker’s problem, Graham Potter could be looking to sign a new attacker in the January transfer window.

Aubameyang, now 33, will not be able to play at the highest level for much longer, so bringing in a younger striker to rival and eventually replace him could be a priority for Chelsea.

Now, according to Jeunes Footeux, Chelsea are considering signing Lille striker David in the January transfer window.

David has started the season brilliantly, scoring nine goals in eleven league games for Lille. The 22-year-old has never scored fewer than ten league goals in a full season and could be a smart signing for Chelsea.

Lille have been in financial trouble recently, so Chelsea could get a bargain on David. The report claims that David would be open to the right move in January, and Champions League club Chelsea could be a tempting option for the Canadian.
