PSG, Tottenham Target’s Latest Update Bodes Well for Newcastle to Replace Callum Wilson | OneFootball

With Randal Kolo Muani now at Juventus, Paris Saint-Germain is looking to offload the French striker permanently, whether to the Turin club or another suitor.

Tuttosport recently reported that PSG are among the clubs eyeing LOSC Lille striker Jonathan David. Newcastle United and West Ham are also in the mix, with the Premier League clubs showing interest in the Ligue 1 standout, who will be available as a free agent this summer.

David’s contract expires June 30, allowing him to sign with any club. While he has drawn interest from Serie A, Juventus are particularly eager to land him.

CaughtOffside reported Friday that David is at the center of a heated transfer battle, with several top European clubs vying for his signature. However, his preference is a move to the Premier League.

Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, and Newcastle United—all clubs monitoring Alexander Isak’s situation—are keen on signing him.

David is in no rush to decide and plans to make his final choice at the end of the season, per CaughtOffside. His priority is a move to a top Premier League club.

David is widely expected to head to England this summer, with Newcastle preparing an offer. Eddie Howe’s side is looking to sign a new striker regardless of Isak’s future, as Callum Wilson is set to depart.

Former Manchester United and Sunderland chief scout Mick Brown told Football Insider that the 25-year-old will have no shortage of options, including Newcastle.

“I remember when David first came onto the scene,” Brown told Football Insider. “He was very highly regarded, and still is, but people were talking about him like he was a world-beater.

“He’s gone a bit quiet since then in terms of transfer interest, he’s gone under the radar. But a lot of clubs have been keeping a close eye on him and if he’s going to be available for free, I think they’ll all be presenting offers for him.

“It looks like he’ll finally make that move to the Premier League because there is a lot of interest. The likes of Newcastle, or any club looking for a striker, will be involved. If Wilson is leaving, they need to replace him.

“We know they want to keep Isak but they can’t rely only on him. Ultimately it will be up to the player, he’s going to have to make a decision at the end of the year about where he sees his future and what he thinks is the best offer.“
