Chelsea made huge mistakes in the football market in the previous two years, it turned out that some of the moves they made were disastrous. We are of course talking about attackers.In two summers, the London club spent a total of 166,000,000 euros on purchases, first on Timo Werner, and then on Romelu Lukaku. From them, they got only 39 goals in 136 games, which is why the Blues let the German return to Leipzig for much less money, and sent the Belgian on loan to Inter, from where he was brought. The Blues have put themselves in a situation where, despite spending so much on the eve of the 2022/23 season, they will practically be without a classic striker who is occasionally played by Kai Havertz.##NAJAVA_MECA_6724964##A month and a half ago, Graham Potter took over the helm of Chelsea and very quickly realized that he needed a classic goalscorer as soon as possible. According to information from the Island, the English expert has marked Lille striker Jonathan David as the main target, already for the month of January. Obviously, the performances of the Canadian, who currently shares the top scorer list of the French Ligue 1 with Neymar, did not go unnoticed.He came to France in the summer of 2020 from Gent as a great talent, and Les Dogues spared no expense. They paid him 27,000,000 euros, knowing that they would undoubtedly be able to double the investment in the future. That could also happen since the interest in David in the top five leagues is extremely high, and the 22-year-old does not have a buyout clause in his contract.Florian Plettenberg, a reliable journalist of the German Sky Sports, claims that Everton are also determined to enter the race for the Canadian in 2023, but that a specific offer has not yet arrived at the Pierre Moreau Stadium. Lille will certainly not agree to less than 50,000,000 for a guy whose contract expires in 2025.Chelsea manager wants to sign a new striker in January, and Potter has ticked the name of Jonathan David on his shortlist.{#JeunesFooteuxviaSportWitness} pic.twitter.com/6zufAi97fP— The Head Master (@MaharazAliyu) October 17, 2022 In David’s case, progress is evident. The young goalscorer is in his third season in Lille. Already in the premiere, he was able to hone his craft as an apprentice of the experienced Burak Yilmaz and ended it with 13 goals. In the following season, David increased the total balance by two more goals, and after 11 matches in the current season, he already has nine goals.Therefore, it is certain that he is preparing to push his personal boundaries, but also that he has realized that he belongs with one of the European giants.
