Newcastle United finally signed their best dream player- Jonathan David

Newcastle United are set to ramp up their interest in Jonathan David but faces plenty of challenges ahead in luring the in-demand Canadian striker. 

Newcastle United are keen to bolster their attacking end ahead of January, and looking for a winger ahead of the winter window. They are also considering bringing in a striker, although with Callum Wilson returning to fitness, the position is not seen as an immediate necessity. 

However, Wilson’s contract expires next summer, as Eddie Howe is widely expected to replace the 32-year-old with a younger option. The striker’s market being an expensive one, the Magpies will look at all available options, as they are interested in Jonathan David. 

The 24-year-old Ligue 1 star has been angling a move out of LOSC Lille for a few years now, and this time around, he will get his wish. David is coming to the end of his contract and is unlikely to leave the club in January, despite the French side being open to a sale then. This is the last chance for them to cash in on his talents. 

David is keen on a Premier League switch amid interest from many top clubs. His financial demands may be seen as a stumbling block for many interested parties. Chelsea is one of those keen, as they are seeking a new striker to compete with Nicolas Jackson in the future. West Ham is also interested, meaning Newcastle United faces plenty of competition already as the 24-year-old Ligue 1 star makes his big summer move
