# Liverpool target Jonathan David wants Bundesliga move

Liverpool are unlikely to sign Gent star Jonathan David this summer, with the forward favouring a move to the Bundesliga.

The Reds were [rumoured](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1249222/Chelsea-Jonathan-David-Liverpool-Man-Utd-Tottenham-Leicester-Gent-Transfer-News) to be facing stiff competition from Tottenham, Chelsea and Manchester City for David’s signature, with the 20-year-old enjoying an impressive season, [scoring 18 times](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/383855/Show/Jonathan-David) in the Belgian First Division A.

There has been a twist in the saga, however, with the player’s future set to lie away from the Premier League.

Speaking to [Ruhr Nachrichten](https://www.ruhrnachrichten.de/bvb/jonathan-david-ein-stuermer-fuer-borussia-dortmund-plus-1508528.html), David’s agent, Nick Mavromaras, talked up the idea of a move to Germany:

> Jonathan is ready for the next step. He wants to join the Bundesliga.

### Read Liverpool Verdict

In terms of a long-term acquisition, David could tick many of the boxes required to be an ideal signing for Liverpool, so this is a blow. His numbers suggest he is already a prolific attacking player, and he could have learned from the likes of Mohamed Salah, Sadio Mane and Roberto Firmino.

That being said, it could provide Rhian Brewster with a boost, as the young striker tries to make the grade at Anfield.

Brewster is on loan at Swansea City currently and he may need to impress during pre-season if he is to show Jurgen Klopp that he can be a key man moving forward.

[Four goals in 11 appearances](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhian_Brewster#Career_statistics) for the Swans is a start – he must continue to kick on, however, showing that the Reds don’t need to be signing someone of David’s ilk.
