According to TodoFichajes, Newcastle United are in talks with Gent over the signing of striker Jonathan David this summer. Negotiations between both clubs are said to be on the right track and an agreement to land the Canadian for around £31 million could be sealed. David was in impressive form for the Belgian club before the campaign ended, bagging 18 goals in 27 league games and scoring five more in 13 other games.
The 20-year-old won’t be short of options this summer, with Tottenham Hotspur and Liverpool also interested in his signature.
Aston Villa, Wolves, Southampton and West Ham are also said to be interested in David, but the project at hand at Newcastle under the would-be owners could see them beat others to his services.
