According to a report from Fichajes, Chelsea has their eye on the great striker for Lille in recent seasons who represents Canada at the international level.
The 23-year-old has already made a name for himself as one of the brightest young prospects in European soccer, and the Blues may find great value in him in the long run.
David had a 26-goal season last year in all competitions, and he is under contract with the French team through the summer of 2025.
Lille won’t want to allow him to leave in the middle of the season, but Chelsea is willing to make a significant investment to persuade them. The striker’s transfer to the Blues is reportedly set to cost €60 million, and they believe that sum will be sufficient to complete the deal in January.

Chelsea has won just one of its first four league games this season, giving them a poor start. Last season, they came in at number 12 in the standings. In the second part of the season, someone like David might make a significant impact for them since they will be desperate to return to the Champions League.
The player will find it intriguing to have the chance to transfer to Stamford Bridge. This development will be accelerated and his incredible potential will be realized with regular football in England. A manager like Mauricio Pochettino will allow him to grow even more.
