West Ham are set to face Newcastle in the race to sign Lille striker Jonathan David, according to their former senior scout.
Mick Brown, who worked at the London Stadium until he left with David Moyes last summer and still has a good relationship there. Has told Football Ufabet that the 25-year-old’s agent is in talks with the club’s directors.
The Canada international has 23 goals and 10 assists in 41 appearances in all competitions this season and is available on a free transfer สมัคร UFABET วันนี้ รับเครดิตฟรีสำหรับสมาชิกใหม่ in July when his contract with the Ligue 1 club expires and is seen as an ideal option for the Hammers.
It comes amid concerns over the futures of Mikhail Antonio and Niklas Füllkrug. While Danny Ings is also likely to leave when his contract expires.
However, David is still attracting interest from a number of Premier League clubs as he is willing to move on a free transfer. And West Ham will have to try to convince him to accept an offer.
David will be a free agent in the summer and signing a player of his quality on a free transfer would be a masterstroke. The 25-year-old has 23 goals and 10 assists in all competitions this season. He is one of the best strikers in European football and he could transform West Ham in the attack.

David could transform them in the attack and form a solid partnership with Jarrod Bowen and Mohammed Kudus.
Brown told Football Ufabet that Newcastle are also preparing an offer for David. With the idea of him eventually moving to the Premier League.
