There are still four Premier League games to be played before the 2024-25 season comes to an end, but clubs are already planning for the next season and the summer transfer window.
Chelsea, for one, are set for a big summer as they look to bolster their squad by strengthening multiple positions.
One of the areas that the Blues will be looking to strengthen is their attack, and they are in the market for a world-class striker.
Chelsea’s current striker Nicolas Jackson has blown hot and cold this season and his failed to nail down his position in the starting 11.
Therefore, it comes as no surprise that Enzo Maresca’s team has been linked to several strikers going into the transfer window.
According to a report by CaughtOffside, Chelsea are keeping tabs on Lille striker Jonathan David going into the transfer market.

The Canadian international has had a stellar season at Lille, racking up 25 goals and 11 assists in all competitions so far.
However, the report also states that the Blues will have to fight off interest from several other Premier League clubs in order to land the Canadian international.
Liverpool, Manchester United, Tottenham, West Ham, and Newcastle United are all keen on securing his services.
What Jonathan David would bring to Chelsea
Given the kind of inconsistent form that Nicolas Jackson has displayed for Chelsea in front of goal this season, Enzo Maresca is on the lookout for a lethal striker who can consistently find the back of the net.
A prolific striker is a non-negotiable if the Stamford Bridge side are to push on and compete for top honours next season.
The potential arrival of David would add a different dimension to Chelsea’s attack as he boasts pace and lethal finishing in equal measure.
However, Chelsea will have to fight off stiff competition, especially from the likes of Manchester United, who are desperately in need of a striker to bolster their attack.
