Arsenal and Newcastle United have received a huge boost in their pursuit of Jonathan David.
The 22-year-old wants to leave in the summer, even though he has a contract until 2025.
That is according to Sky Sports Germany journalist Florian Plettenberg.
Plettenberg states that David wants a move to a club in the Champions League, which would make matters complicated for Newcastle.
It could be an advantage for Arsenal as they remain genuine contenders for a top-four spot.
Mikel Arteta's side are two points behind fourth-placed Manchester United and possess three games in hand on the Red Devils.
Lille reportedly want at least between £37million and £46million to part ways with David.
Arteta is desperately trying to land a striker this summer as Alexandre Lacazette and Eddie Nketiah are set to walk away on free transfers.
The Gunners allowed Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to join Barcelona last month.
