Leeds United have already started looking ahead to the summer transfer window as they plan for next season after securing Premier League survival.
Daniel Farke is still expected to demand full focus from his players when they take on West Ham United today in a game that could see the Hammers relegated.
Behind the scenes, though, Leeds are already preparing for the summer, with Farke making it clear he expects the board to show more ambition in the transfer market.
Leeds are in the market to bring in a striker, and the club have now been made aware of the availability of a top forward at one of the European giants.
The Whites are now aware of the availability of Jonathan David
Jonathan David’s reputation was sky high following a solid spell at Lille, when Juventus signed him last summer on a free transfer.
However, he has struggled in Italy this season, scoring eight times in 45 appearances in all competitions, and the Serie A giants are open to letting him go.
According to TeamTALK, Leeds are one of several Premier League clubs that have been approached by his representatives over a possible move.
Leeds have been made aware of the forward’s availability ahead of a summer when they are almost certain to sign a striker in the upcoming window.
The Whites are claimed to be ‘exploring ambitious attacking’ targets ahead of the summer window as they push to bring in more goals for their squad.
Newcastle, Aston Villa, Brighton and Crystal Palace are the other Premier League clubs that have been linked with the forward.
David has struggled in Italy, but there is a feeling that he is still good enough to thrive in the Premier League if he moves to England this summer.
Before moving to Juventus, the Canadian international had already built a reputation as one of the most reliable goal scorers in European football during his spell in Ligue 1. He scored an impressive 109 goals in 232 appearances for Lille and consistently proved himself as a top-level forward.
His overall career record now stands at 154 goals in 306 matches, having also enjoyed a highly successful spell with his first club, KAA Gent.
The Whites have their eyes on one more Juventus forward
Lois Openda has also been linked with a move to Leeds after a dreadful last season at Juventus, where he struggled for goals.
The Whites have a serious interest in David’s strike partner, and are said to be prepared to make a significant financial commitment to sign the former RB Leipzig forward.
Juventus are looking for a clearout and are prepared to sell both of their underperforming strikers to make space for fresh arrivals.
Leeds will only have funds to one of those two strikers, and it remains to be seen if they go shopping at Juventus, which of the two they pick this summer.
