Lille planning to sign a forward to compliment Jonathan David, Southampton’s Sékou Mara considered
According to L’Équipe, Lille want to recruit a versatile forward to compliment Jonathan David (24) in the January transfer window with Sékou Mara (21) being considered. Paulo Fonseca was keen for Les Dogues to reinforce their attacking options in the summer transfer window with the idea of complimenting the Canadian international but no attacking reinforcement arrived.
This failure to sign an attacker in the summer window has made it one of Lille’s top priorities in the winter transfer window. Lille had previously considered Almeria’s Largie Ramazani (22) and Southampton’s Sékou Mara (21) for the role. Mara is still considered for the the January window but at this stage only information has been gathered on the former Bordeaux striker’s current situation on the South coast.
Despite an initial poor run of form from Jonathan David at the start of the 2023/24 season, interest in the Canadian international forward has not wavered. As reported by La Gazetta dello Sport, AC Milan have shown interest in the former Genk striker. According to L’Équipe, a January exit for David cannot be ruled out.
