West Ham United beware, as Liverpool line up an extraordinary summer transfer.
Arne Slot has performed incredibly well since taking over at Anfield as the Liverpool manager back in the summer.
Liverpool are on course to win the league, and once they’ve done that, they could cause West Ham United head coach Graham Potter a very big problem indeed.
Potter is desperate to add more dynamism, pace and youth to his West Ham ranks this summer.
One signing he needs to prioritise is the addition of a new centre-forward.
The striker West Ham bring to the London Stadium this summer needs to possess blistering pace and be a top-class finisher.
There is someone out there who’s perfect for us, but Liverpool could be about to shatter our dreams.
Nightmare for West Ham as Liverpool eye Jonathan David move
West Ham have been heavily linked with Jonathan David for the past few months now.
He’d be the ideal addition to Potter’s ranks this summer.
It has been claimed that West Ham will have to pay a total package worth around £17 million in wages and agent fees to secure David’s signature (Sky Sports Switzerland).
Now though, it seems like it may well be impossible for the Hammers to sign Jonathan David.
According to Tutto Juve, Liverpool have thrown their hat in the ring for the signing of David.
That’s not all though – it really does get worse.
Aside from Liverpool, eight other clubs allegedly want to sign the Canada international this summer as well.
Arsenal, Manchester United, Chelsea, Tottenham, FC Barcelona, Juventus, Inter, Paris Saint-Germain are all chasing the 25-year-old’s signature.
I think we’ll all be better off if we look at Jonathan David as nothing more than a pipe dream and realise that we won’t be signing him this summer.
Seriously, how on earth can we compete with those clubs listed above?
With the likes of Arsenal and Liverpool so desperate for a new centre-forward, the Hammers may as well move on to other targets.
Jonathan David the one that got away
David has all of the attributes that make him absolutely perfect for the Hammers.
His pace is electric, and he has incredible movement and elite finishing ability.
Thats aid, Edson Alvarez did keep him quiet during the Mexico vs Canada clash on Friday!
West Ham will undoubtedly miss out on Jonathan David this summer and it will once again be a case of ‘we tried’.
If the owners had any kind of ambition, they would have signed him in January for a relatively small fee.
