The 22-year-old is believed to be on the radar at Anfield as Jurgen Klopp attempts to further strengthen the [attacking department](https://www.liverpoolfc.com/team/first-team) following the arrival of Luis Diaz.

There is firee competition from [Premier League](https://www.premierleague.com/tables) rivals Arsenal however as the Canadian youngster looks to take the next step in a promising career.

According to a report from [Le10Sport](https://le10sport.com/football/mercato/exclu-mercato-un-match-arsenal-liverpool-pour-jonathan-david-591080?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter), as cited by Arsenal page [Gurjit](https://twitter.com/GurjitAFC/status/1501617522264662018) on Twitter, both the Reds and the Gunners are extremely interested in David.

The report claims that Paris Saint-Germain and Inter Milan are also keen but it’s the English clubs who are ‘best positioned’ to sign the [27-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jonathan-david/nationalmannschaft/spieler/533738/verein_id/3510) international sensation.

So far this season David – hailed as a [‘phenomenon’](https://www.nieuwsblad.be/cnt/dmf20200428_04937902?articlehash=F8BA53820626FFEA88DF412D0E975CEE2AB71F2ACCF6E2A1A0520D9B066EBC6F705D8E185584784EC979D96ACAF0056F018AFF73C0C7F8DB992174DA4D706B04) by Hein Vanhaezebrouck – has [scored 17 times](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jonathan-david/leistungsdaten/spieler/533738) in 36 appearances across all competitions.

### READ LIVERPOOL VERDICT

Valued at £45million and under contract in France until 2025 ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jonathan-david/marktwertverlauf/spieler/533738)), signing the ace who ‘dreams’ of a move to England would be an expensive venture.

However, with Brazilian frontman Roberto Firmino approaching the [final 12 months](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/roberto-firmino/profil/spieler/131789) of a deal and in need of replacing in the long-term, bringing David to Merseyside would be a superb move.

Capable of [operating](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jonathan-david/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/533738) as a centre-forward, second striker and attacking midfielder, the Canadian has the wherewithal to operate in Klopp’s system and a move to Liverpool would be a viable one on what has been a rapid rise to prominence.
