Arsenal want Ligue 1 star, a good deal?

It
has
been
reported
that
the
club’s
technical
director
Edu
has
already
met
with
the
agent
of
the
Canadian
international
and
the
Gunners
could
launch
a
bid
for
the
21-year-old
either
this
month
or
in
the
summer.

From
the
recent
transfer
news
related
to
the
Gunners,
it
has
been
pretty
evident
that
the
north
London
club
are
desperately
chasing
a
new
number
nine.

Both
Alexandre
Lacazette
and
Eddie
Nketiah
look
set
to
leave
in
the
summer
when
their
contract
expires
while
Pierre-Emerick
Aubameyang
has
also
been
frozen
out
of
the
squad
by
Arteta
following
another
disciplinary
breach
and
he
was
also
stripped
off
his
captaincy.

The
Gunners
have
been
linked
with
a
host
of
strikers
across
Europe
such
as
Fiorentina
star
Dusan
Vlahovic,
Real
Sociedad
striker
Alexander
Isak
and
Everton
hitman
Dominic
Calvert-Lewin.
The
links
with
David
are
relatively
new
and
makes
absolute
sense
from
the
Gunners’ point
of
view
as
well
as
from
the
player’s
perspective.

David
is
more
of
a
complete
striker
who
used
to
be
more
of
an
inside
forward
during
his
younger
days
and
was
eventually
moulded
into
a
centre
forward.
He
has
been
operating
as
a
secondary
striker
for
Lille
since
his
move
to
the
French
club
from
Gent
in
2020
behind
mostly
Burak
Yılmaz
and
their
duo
was
crucial
for
Lille’s
spectacular
Ligue
1
winning
run
last
campaign.

During
this
season,
David
has
become
more
of
the
primary
source
of
goals
for
Lille
eclipsing
his
veteran
teammate
Yilmaz.
The
21-year-old
is
still
pretty
much
in
his
development
phase
but
his
gradual
transformation
from
an
inside
forward
to
a
centre
forward
has
had
a
big
impact
on
his
game
and
makes
him
more
complete
than
most
of
the
young
strikers
and
that
makes
him
perfect
for
a
team
like
Arsenal.

David
is
known
for
his
exceptional
movement
and
mobility
and
he
also
has
a
pace
to
burn
that
can
help
him
outrun
most
defenders.
The
21-year-old
is
also
known
for
his
brilliant
close
control,
technical
abilities
and
ability
to
pick
out
brilliant
killer
passes.
Also,
the
Canada
international
is
very
much
effective
in
counter
attacking
situations
thanks
to
his
pace
and
directness.

An
all-round
attacker,
David,
seems
to
be
a
perfect
striker
for
the
system
Mikel
Arteta
is
trying
to
implement
at
the
Emirates
and
he
would
possibly
be
a
more
suitable
number
nine
for
the
Gunners
compared
to
the
likes
of
Vlahovic,
Isak
or
Calvert-Lewin.
