Arsenal will rival Everton and Leicester for Gent's Jonathan David - report

Jonathan David Gent

Arsenal are reportedly one of seven clubs chasing Gent's attacking midfielder Jonathan David.

David is enjoying a prolific season with Gent, scoring 19 goals and providing 10 assists so far.

They are joined by high-flying German outfit RB Leipzig, as well as Italian duo Napoli and Lazio.

Although he is valued at €20m, the sheer level of interest in David is thought to be enough to drive the price up.

La Gantoise are understood to be looking to sell while their prized asset's stock is so high.

Arsenal could be looking to replace Mesut Özil, who has been linked with amove away from the Emirates in recent windows.

However, RB Leipzig are also thought to be strong contenders considering their reputation of operating a youth-orientated policy.
