Arsenal Eye Free Transfer for High-Scoring Forward

With the January transfer window nearing its end, Arsenal have yet to make any signings despite their recent struggles in the Premier League. However, the club have been linked with several attacking options, including RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Šeško.

According to recent reports, Arsenal are also interested in Lille striker Jonathan David. The club have held internal discussions about the Canadian international, whose contract expires this summer. This means Arsenal could potentially sign David on a free transfer, making him an appealing target.

David has been in outstanding form this season, scoring 18 goals and providing 7 assists in just 31 appearances for Lille. This gives him a goal involvement every 1.24 games on average, compared to Šeško’s 1.58 games.

The 25-year-old David has consistently delivered over the past few seasons, tallying 89 goals and 20 assists in 166 club appearances since 2021. He has also excelled for Canada, with 31 goals and 18 assists in 59 international caps.

While the younger Šeško may have more long-term potential, David is a proven goalscorer who could make an immediate impact as Arsenal push for Premier League glory. His prolific record and potential availability on a free transfer make him an extremely attractive option for the Gunners to pursue.
