Liverpool and Slot Eyeing “Magical” 24-Year-Old Striker to Replace Nunez

According to recent reports, Liverpool are considering Lille striker Jonathan David as a potential replacement for Darwin Nunez at the end of the season. Manager Arne Slot is said to be impressed by the Canadian international’s versatility and prolific goal-scoring record.

While Liverpool are expected to have a quiet January transfer window, the club is already looking ahead to potential summer moves. With Nunez linked to AC Milan, the Reds view David as both an upgrade and a long-term investment.

The 24-year-old David has been in outstanding form this season, scoring 11 goals in 12 Ligue 1 starts for Lille. He also boasts an impressive international record, with 31 goals in 59 appearances for Canada. Football journalist Alexandre Gangue-Ruzic has described David’s current campaign as “magical”.

David’s goal-scoring prowess and all-around game could make him an ideal fit for Liverpool’s system under Slot. With Nunez struggling to live up to expectations in his third season at Anfield, David represents a potentially significant upgrade in attack.

The Canadian striker’s contract situation also makes him an attractive target, as he could be available on a free transfer in the summer. This aligns with Liverpool’s strategy of finding value in the transfer market.

While no move is imminent, David’s form and potential availability have put him firmly on Liverpool’s radar as they plan for the future of their attack. The coming months will likely see further developments in this potential transfer saga.
