The race to find Juventus' target striker is beginning to heat up

Jonathan David is currently one of the most sought-after players in Europe as he heads into free agency in less than a year.

The Lille striker has been in excellent form for several seasons, but no club has been able to secure his signing so far.

The Ligue 1 club have accepted that he is likely to leave the club at the end of this season unless a suitor offers a transfer fee to sign him in January.

Juventus is one of the clubs interested in acquiring the Canada international and would like to sign him on a pre-contract basis by January.

However, Juve are not the only club in the running to sign David as they face stiff competition from Inter Milan and Newcastle United.

All three clubs are increasing their efforts to sign him TuttoJuve reports that the race is heating up as the January transfer window approaches.

Says Juventus FC

David has been one of the best strikers in Europe in recent seasons and the Canadian will be playing for a bigger club next season. So we have to be serious and give him the best offer so that he can move to us.
