Arsenal's forgotten £47m target sends Mikel Arteta opposing Gabriel Jesus transfer reminder

Mikel Arteta has been sent a reminder by a transfer target who Arsenal seemed to cool their interest in. Jonathan David had an excellent performance for his side in his last away game of the season as he prepares to move clubs in the summer transfer window.

The Canadian international scored a brace against Nice, as Lille came out 3-1 winners in Ligue 1, which put them tenth in the French first division. David has lost his good form recently, which explains the loss of interest by Arsenal.

However, with him reportedly costing the same amount as Gabriel Jesus, which is around the £47m mark, and still being three years younger, he has sent a reminder to Arteta that he could be a better option than the Brazilian.
