00:00Liverpool are reportedly interested in Lille forward Jonathan David, with contract talks
00:07still unresolved for key players like Mohamed Salah, Virgil van Dijk and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
00:15The trio has been crucial for Liverpool, but Salah's goal contributions are particularly
00:20hard to replace, with the Egyptian recording 27 goals and 17 assists in the Premier League
00:26this season.
00:29He's on track to break Thierry Henry's record for goal contributions in a 38-game season,
00:34an edge closer to the joint record of 47 in 42 games of the campaign.
00:41Should Salah depart, Liverpool would lose a vital creative force, making it essential
00:46to find a new goal-scoring threat.
00:50Normally such a player would cost millions, but Jonathan David offers a rare opportunity.
00:56The 24-year-old Canadian international is available on a free transfer this summer,
01:01and Liverpool are reportedly among the clubs interested in him.
01:06I think when you look at the stats, perhaps other players haven't stepped up to the plate.
01:13It's not like everyone, you know, let's just get it to Mo Salah and he'll score the goals.
01:18That's certainly not the way that Liverpool play.
01:21In terms of the output, there haven't been enough contributions from the rest of them.
01:25Diogo Jota, fitness issues, has now got form issues as well.
01:30Luis Diaz, he hasn't been quite the same.
01:34You look at him and think, is he 28 now?
01:37Is he going to progress any further?
01:40Davies has been a proven goal-scorer for Lille, with 107 goals in 224 appearances since 2020.
01:48He's consistently competing for the Golden Boot alongside Kylian Mbappe and Sean in Europe,
01:54scoring seven goals in the Champions League.
01:57His fitness record and chance conversion rate are superior to players like Darwin Nunez
02:03and Diogo Jota.
02:05Though his future remains uncertain, interest from clubs both abroad and in the Premier League
02:11continue to grow.
