Arsenal transfer blow as Bayern Munich ‘enquire about target Jonathan David’ – with Canadian preferring Bundesliga move

, Arsenal transfer blow as Bayern Munich ‘enquire about target Jonathan David’ – with Canadian preferring Bundesliga move

ARSENAL’S pursuit of Gent starlet Jonathan David has been dented by Bayern Munich entering the race for his signature, according to reports.

Gunners scouts have been impressed by the Canadian striker, and the club could move to sign him if Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang leaves in the summer.

David has caught the eye with 23 goals for Gent this season

Mikel Arteta’s side have been making contingency plans in case their captain opts against renewing his contract, which will have a year left to run come the end of the season.

And a £17.5million swoop for the 20-year-old Canadian could fit the bill nicely.

But if Bayern enter the race, it will be difficult to attract him to the Emirates – given his preference for the Bundesliga.

According to Belgian site Foot News, Bayern are interested in signing him – having already brought in his compatriot Alphonso Davies last year.

The winger-turned-full-back has wowed fans at the Allianz Arena, and David would relish the opportunity to join him in Bavaria.

Speaking to Inter Dipendenza last month, David’s agent Nick Mavromaras was asked if his client had considered Inter Milan as a possible destination.

In response to which, he revealed: “Honestly, I never heard anything about Inter.

“At the moment Italy is not our priority. Inter is certainly a great club, but at the moment other leagues have priority

“Germany is in first position.”

David has caught the eye this season, banging in 23 goals in 39 games for Gent – with one of these strikes coming in the recent Europa League clash with Roma.

He arrived in Belgium from Ottawa Internationals two years ago, and hasn’t looked back.

The 5ft 10in nimble forward has also banged goals in for his country – notching 11 in just 12 caps so far for the Canucks.

Six of these came in last summer’s Gold Cup – including a hat-trick against Cuba in the group stage.

He would have big shoes to fill at the Emirates, however, with Aubameyang having been in good form for the Gunners this season.

The January 2018 acquisition has banged in 20 goals in 31 outings this term – despite his team’s struggles that have seen them crash out of the Europa League and sitting tenth in the Premier |League.
