Everton want Champions League striker, his stance emerges already - report

Lille striker Jonathan David is unlikely to move to Everton despite their interest, according to Give Me Sport.

The news outlet reports [5 November] that the Canada international is open to moving to the Premier League as the forward is set on leaving Lille at the end of the season.

While the Toffees are interested in the 24-year-old, Newcastle have been labelled as one to watch, with a push for European football wanted consistently.

Jonathan David would solve Everton issues

It feels far-fetched to think about David joining the Blues, but they could use someone of his calibre and quality in their front line.

The Canadian has proven his prolificity at Lille over the years and has been impressive for the French outfit again this season, scoring 13 goals in 18 appearances in all competitions, including the Champions League.

Sean Dyche could be on the chopping block as he has struggled to get his team to find the back of the net consistently, with Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Beto leaving a lot to be desired.

While the English striker has returned to the team this season, he hasn’t been the same since his fitness issues over recent years.

It isn’t encouraging to see your main number nine score only two goals in the current campaign, and the Goodison Park faithful are right to be frustrated with Calvert-Lewin.

Getting David might be somewhat unrealistic for the Toffees, but that doesn’t mean the club shouldn’t go into the market and look for other options.

In other Everton news, the club have made a decision on sending Harrison Armstrong out on loan in January as transfer interest is being shown in him.
