By now it is no longer a mystery that Inter Milan have circled Jonathan David's name in an attempt to reinforce their attack ahead of next season.
The 2000-born Lille centre forward is expiring his contract, but there is no shortage of suitors interested in him, all the more so given his contractual situation.
According to a report by Matteo Moretto on Relevo, Inter Milan, Juventus and Barcelona have already set their sights on David, but the interest of English clubs cannot be excluded.
Moretto also reports an update: David would ask for around €6 million (£4.9 million) per year in salary, to which commissions to agents would have to be added.
A versatile forward, David plays primarily as a second striker in a 4-4-2 formation or as an attacking midfielder. He is also capable of playing as an out–and–out striker and is known for his goalscoring ability.
As a second striker, in a partnership he plays just behind the other primary striker.
David is able to find gaps in the defence and to attack these areas with his pace, noted for his high top speeds.
He is also able to play short passes and combine with teammates to attack the goal area, he is able to play best with his tight control and sharp interplay between teammates.
Due to his pace and speed, David is also effective on counterattacks.
Moreover, he is known for his tactical intelligence, defensive work-rate, and ability to read the game, as well as his willingness to press opposing players off the ball.
