AC Milan are on the lookout for a new striker and the comments from one of their targets has certainly offered up some encouragement.
A number of sources have reported that the Rossoneri management are planning to make an investment in the centre-forward role next summer considering Zlatan Ibrahimovic is 41 years of age (and may retire) while Olivier Giroud is 36, with both on contracts set to expire next June.
Calciomercato.com confirm that Milan are looking for a new centre-forward ahead of the 2023-24 season and among the profiles that they are following is Jonathan David of Lille.
The 22-year-old Canada international has 9 goals in 12 league games already this season after scoring 15 in the previous campaign for Lille and 13 in the one before that, showing that he seems to be going from strength to strength.
Now, David himself has given an interview in which he made it clear he will jump at the opportunity to better his career at a ‘massive’ club.
“I was always watching European football on TV. So, for me, that was always the goal. For me it was, I only wanted to go to Europe,” David told Sky Sports News (via F365).
“The next step is always growing, having more ambition, a bigger club. Every player wants to play for a massive club in their life. I think if I had the chance to do it, I’ll go for it for sure. I feel ready for the leap to a great club.”
The Calciomercato.com also cites the Mirror in claiming that Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United are also on his trail.
