Arsenal are yet to make a concrete move in their potential pursuit of Lille striker Jonathan David who is also wanted at several other clubs.
The Gunners are expected to be in the market for players in the January transfer window after failing to bring in a striker in the summer.
Many believe Arsenal are still short of a forward and some feel last summer’s incoming business might not be good enough to close the gap with Manchester City.
David is one of the forwards who have been heavily linked with a move to Arsenal and the rumour mill is expected to be working overtime ahead of the January transfer window.
With David in the final year of his contract, the Canadian could be available for a cut-price fee in January as he could leave on a free transfer in the summer.
Arsenal yet to make a ‘decisive’ move for Jonathan David
The Gunners are expected to try and bring in a striker in the winter window and the club are looking at several options in the market.
David is on their radar and Arsenal are also aware of his contract situation at Lille who could be keen to sell him in the winter window.
Arsenal have all the scouting data on David and the forward has been closely watched by the club’s recruitment team over the last couple of seasons.
However, according to Italian outlet Tutto Mercato, the Gunners are yet to make a concrete move to land the Canadian forward.
Arsenal are still assessing their options and looking at their squad closely ahead of making a call on any potential signings in the January window.
Their performances over the next few months are likely to dictate whether Arsenal will be active in January, especially when it comes to signing a striker.
Arsenal fans would want more reinforcements given the strength of Manchester City’s squad who have won the last four Premier League titles.
