West Ham boss David Moyes is reportedly set to begin talks with Lille forward, Jonathan David.<\/p>\n

Who is Jonathan David?<\/h2>\n

Jonathan David is currently plying his trade in Ligue 1 with Lille.<\/p>\n

David was signed by Lille in August of 2020 for a fee reported to be just over \u00a324m<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The New York-born hitman went on to enjoy a solid debut campaign in France, netting 13 and assisting three in 37 outings as Lille piped PSG to the Ligue 1 title.<\/p>\n

Lille\u2019s form, on the whole, has since dropped off a fair bit, but David has only continued to improve.<\/p>\n

In 26 outings across all competitions this term, David has already scored 15 goals. He has also matched his 2020\/21 league goal tally in 19 fewer games.<\/p>\n

West Ham linked with Jonathan David<\/h2>\n

All of this comes with David still only just 21 years old, suggesting that the Canadian is still some way off reaching his peak.<\/p>\n

As a result, it is not at all surprising to see David attracting interest from the Premier League.<\/p>\n

As per Goal<\/a> citing Spanish outlet Fichajes:<\/p>\n

West Ham boss David Moyes is set to begin transfer talks with Lille forward Jonathan David \u2013 according to Fichajes. The Hammers have already been negotiating a deal for the 21-year-old ahead of the January transfer window, with Moyes now ready to step in and finalise terms.<\/em><\/p>\n

David would, if signed, add some much-needed depth to West Ham\u2019s striking ranks, which currently relies almost solely on an ageing, injury-prone Michail Antonio who has struggled for goals of late.<\/p>\n

No potential fee for David is mentioned.<\/p>\n
