Chelsea has heard from Thierry Henry. The best position for Jonathan David amid Tottenham and Man Utd links
Before the summer transfer window opens, some major Premier League clubs are once again monitoring Jonathan David. and Chelsea has been instructed on how to accommodate the striker
The type of striker that Chelsea might sign in the summer, with Jonathan David allegedly on the Blues' radar, has been described by Thierry Henry. Since he began to shine for Lille, the 23-year-old has been frequently linked with a transfer to the Premier League.
He previously appeared to be on the verge of joining Arsenal, but after the club decided to buy Gabriel Jesus in the summer, their interest appears to have faded. According to football.london, Edu met with David's representatives in December 2021, but a trade never happened.
Tottenham and Manchester United have reportedly joined Chelsea in the competition to recruit the Canadian international, according to the French publication L'Equipe. Only Diego Costa and Olivier Giroud come close to carrying out Didier Drogba's responsibilities for the Blues, who have yet to find a deserving successor.
Timo Werner, Kai Havertz, and Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang are just a few of the players Chelsea has tried out, but none has had much success. David may not have the same physical presence as Drogba, who is 6'2", but Thierry Henry has described what the Canadian has to offer.
The legendary Arsenal player observed, "When you have a player like Jonathan David, who sprints the way he does, in behind. He was forthright. Since he hasn't played or provided an assist this season, don't ask him to.
He will move in from behind if he notices the centre back dropping. However, as soon as he notices a gap, he will flee. He is also fairly strong, and he enjoys making contacts.
The Canada boss went into more detail about what makes David such a unique striker prior to the World Cup. Jonathan is one of those silent killers, John Herdman said in a statement to talkSPORT. Because Jonathan really wants to understand the intricacies of the game and the pressing tactics, I really appreciate how tactically savvy he is.
He understands he's going to head that defensive line and will go into detail with you about it. "The forwards sometimes want to grasp other things. He has this deadly instinct and is a modest player who blends into his surroundings.
"Very tactically planned and conscious, but with that instinct to be able to slink into a penalty area and do what he does best, which is score. Having a player of that calibre who can seize the opportunity is crucial. One who puts in the effort delights me, and I am certain that the players greatly value that.
