The Canadian’s versatility has been a major asset for the French club this season, as he has been deployed in various attacking positions. His ability to play as a central striker, second striker, or on either flank has made him a highly sought-after target for many clubs.
How would Jonathan David fit into the RB Leipzig system?
If David were to make the move to Leipzig, he would be a valuable addition to their attack. He would also help fill the void left by Christopher Nkunku’s impending move to Chelsea.
Leipzig have been in impressive form in the Bundesliga, but they could still use some reinforcements up front. The 23-year-old’s versatility and clinical finishing would make him a perfect fit for the Red Bull system, which relies heavily on quick counter-attacks and pressing high up the pitch.
Leipzig’s Internal Solutions
The Bundesliga club are currently looking at internal solutions before making a move for the forward. The club has several promising young forwards, including Alexander Sørloth, Dominik Szoboszlai, and Andre Silva who could step up and produce in Nkunku’s absence.
