Newcastle United are keeping an eye on Lille striker Jonathan David as his contract nears its expiry this summer, according to Chris Waugh of The Athletic.
The Magpies are looking for a new striker to potentially replace Callum Wilson, who is expected to leave once his contract at St James’ Park ends. David, who has been consistently impressive in Ligue 1 over the past few seasons, is one of the top candidates being watched.
Currently earning €37,500 per week at Lille, David’s wages are set to rise significantly if he moves to the Premier League or joins a financially powerful club like PSG.
