Arsenal, Liverpool, Newcastle, Man United, Inter Milan, Juventus, and Napoli are all expected to knock on the Canadian's door
Jonathan David will officially leave Lille after five years! Earlier today, the Canadian posted a farewell video on his social media, thanking the club for everything. Once his contract with Les Dogues expires on June 30, he'll become a free agent, and numerous interested parties will start knocking on his door.

David will be one of the biggest bargains in the June Transfer Window, as he's been one of the best net-busters in Europe in the past few years, and the fact that his arrival doesn't require compensation significantly increases his value.
The Premier League sides - Arsenal, Liverpool, Man United, and Newcastle - have long been interested in the 25-year-old, though Serie A teams are favourites to sign him at the moment. Inter Milan, Juventus, and Napoli are all keen on the player, and his agents have allegedly already met with the Neapolitans.

The Serie A table-toppers have presented their offer and have managed to "forestall" the competition. Yet, considering Napoli owner and chairman Aurelio De Laurentiis' reputation, the job is far from done.
Juventus and Arsenal desperately need a striker, the Nerazzurri are planning to get rid of Marko Arnautovic and Joaquin Correa, Man United may also pursue David as a replacement for Rasmus Hojlund or Joshua Zirkzee...
All in all, an interesting period awaits the scorer of 109 goals for Lille.
