# Liverpool: Scout says Jonathan David could play for Liverpool

**Former Manchester United scout Jorge Alvial has [told the Manchester Evening News](https://www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/man-utd-jonathan-david-transfer-18111595) that Jonathan David could be a good signing for Liverpool in the future.**

David currently plays for Genk in Belgium, but it seems that Alvial thinks he would be a good signing for the Anfield outfit in the future. He said: “I believe Jonathan in the near future has the potential to play in the Premier League, and after a season or two can demonstrate if he is ready for the top teams like Manchester United, Chelsea, Man City or Liverpool.”

The 20-year-old has been in absolutely stunning form so far this campaign. In [40](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jonathan-david/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/533738/plus/0?saison=2019&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=) games in all competitions, he has managed 23 goals and 10 assists. For a striker, that would be impressive – the fact that he has played most of his games in attacking midfield makes those stats even more eye-catching.

Of course, Jurgen Klopp [does not generally use](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-liverpool/spielplan/verein/31) an attacking midfielder in his 4-3-3 formation, but signing the Canada international could well mark the start of a new era for the 52-year-old. From a midfield point of view, there aren’t many goals in the Reds’ side – Fabinho, Georginio Wijnaldum and Jordan Henderson have just [nine](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/fc-liverpool/leistungsdaten/verein/31) between them this term.

Currently valued at [£20.25m](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/jonathan-david/marktwertverlauf/spieler/533738) by Transfermarkt, David could very well represent good business for Michael Edwards and co. This is certainly a player the Merseyside outfit’s hierarchy should be looking at.
