It has been suggested that Rubén Amorim wants to sign a new striker after Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee's poor performances in the first half of this season.

On the other hand, West Ham need reinforcements in this area, as Jarrod Bowen and Michail Antonio will remain out for a long time due to their respective problems.

On top of that, new summer signing Niclas Fullkrug has suffered a hamstring problem and is likely to be unavailable for selection in the coming weeks.

As a result, Graham Potter has been left with Danny Ings as his only centre-forward option. But he has entered the final months of his current contract so he can leave for free next summer.

David has been a key player for Lille after joining from Gent in 2020, helping his team win the Ligue 1 title in his debut campaign at the club. He has now continued to show his qualities this season, scoring 17 goals and registering five assists in 28 appearances in all competitions.

David could therefore be an excellent acquisition for West Ham or Man Utd if either club finally manages to secure his service this year.
