French soccer skilled Jonathan Johnson has acknowledged that there could possibly be doubts over the way forward for three of Lille’s most necessary gamers within the coming months.
Talking completely to CaughtOffside for his newest Every day Briefing column, Johnson defined that Jonathan David, Edon Zhegrova and Leny Yoro could possibly be three names to observe, more than likely in the summertime, reasonably than in the course of the season.
Nonetheless, Johnson did additionally recommend that Yoro could possibly be one to agree a transfer early, maybe finalising one thing for subsequent season and remaining with Lille till then, giving them the chance to boost some necessary funds however with out shedding an necessary a part of their squad.
Fabrizio Romano has linked Yoro, the proficient younger French centre-back, with Manchester United, so this could possibly be encouraging information for the Crimson Devils in the event that they do determine to step up their curiosity.
David is one other positive participant who has impressed in Ligue 1 for a while, and Johnson says there may be prone to nonetheless be curiosity within the Canada worldwide after his current revival.
“Jonathan David’s type has picked up once more after a little bit of a dip, and my understanding is he’s nonetheless somebody who’s very a lot on the radar of various high golf equipment throughout Europe, Premier League golf equipment included,” Johnson stated.
“It’s humorous, one thing I’ve noticed earlier than is that David appears to return into type simply in time for the switch window – there’s so usually this cycle the place golf equipment begin to present an curiosity in him and his worth goes up, and to be trustworthy his price ticket firstly was in all probability too excessive, simply after he helped Lille win the Ligue 1 title.
“It’s been troublesome for golf equipment to fulfill the asking worth set by Lille, although they had been in all probability extra practical with it final summer time. We’re in all probability now getting near seeing David depart Lille within the subsequent six months or so. I don’t suppose it will likely be this month, although, I don’t suppose Lille will let any of their star gamers depart in the course of the season.
“One exception may Leny Yoro – my understanding is Lille may settle for everlasting bids for him so long as he stayed there till the top of the season, equally to Chelsea’s cope with Malo Gusto final yr. However when it comes to permitting a supply of targets like David to depart now, I feel they’d discover it arduous to interchange him, so I see extra logic in him transferring on in the summertime.”
He added: “It’s a difficult window Lille, as a result of Edon Zhegrova can be attracting numerous curiosity from round Europe. In order that’s three of their most necessary gamers on the radar of high golf equipment and it’s a difficult one for them to navigate, to work out who, if any of them, they will afford to maneuver on.
“Yoro staying can be of an enormous profit to Lille, but it surely may additionally swimsuit them if they will usher in some cash for him forward of the summer time, if that chance arises. For David and Zhegrova, although, it’s extra doubtless that they’ll transfer in the summertime reasonably than on this window.”
