David leaves LOSC five years after joining from KAA Gent for a €27m fee. Over the course of his stay at the French club, he has won a Ligue 1 title, whilst he has also netted 109 times in 231 games. Last season, he has 25 goals in 48 games in all competitions.
The Canada international has attracted significant interest. He was heavily linked with a move to the Premier League. Chelsea and West Ham United were notable suitors. However, the most intense interest has come from Italy.
Napoli were in talks to sign the striker, however, he now looks on the verge of completing a move to Juventus. As per Romano, they are close to reaching an agreement with the player. Negotiations are ongoing with the Turin-based club hoping to be given the green light soon.

Canucks lose Pius Suter for $8 million contract from Western Conference rival
There was some doubt all along as to whether the Vancouver Canucks could keep Pius Suter. Turns out, they couldn't. It took until late in day two of free agency, but Suter has reached a two-year, $8 million deal with the St. Louis Blues that will pay him $4 million per year, according to The Athletic's Chris Johnston. Advertisement MORE: Oilers and Connor McDavid haven't reached a deal yet The Swiss forward Suter turned 29 in May, and he's coming off a season with the best shooting percentage of his career. He probably doesn't have a ton of upside, given that a stat like that points to some statistical regression. But he also came in below his projected contract value, so maybe that was baked into negotiations. MORE: Wild's Kirill Kaprizov chasing a record contract Before the 46-point season, Suter had between 24-36 points in each of his first four NHL seasons. The Blues will surely be happy to get a secondary scoring forward. Advertisement But the Canucks shouldn't feel too bad about losing him, either. MORE NHL NEWS:

Blue Jays Make Bo Bichette Decision After Missing Yankees Game
Blue Jays Make Bo Bichette Decision After Missing Yankees Game originally appeared on Athlon Sports. The Toronto Blue Jays were without shortstop Bo Bichette (knee) in the last two games against the New York Yankees, but that didn't stop them from defending the Rogers Centre. They won Monday's bout 5-4 and Tuesday's 12-5, putting them just one game behind the Yankees atop the AL East. Advertisement The fact that Toronto won both games without Bichette, who leads with team with 97 hits, showed that it has a deep roster. Superstar Vladimir Guerrero Jr. went 2-for-4 with three RBI on Monday, and veteran outfielder George Springer went 3-for-4 with two homers, seven RBI, and two runs scored on Tuesday. The Blue Jays announced Bichette's status before Wednesday night's rematch, via Keegan Matheson. Toronto Blue Jays shortstop Bo Bichette (11)Nathan Ray Seebeck-Imagn Images "John Schneider says that Bo Bichette feels a bit better today and will try to warm up with a regular day," he reported. "They're hoping he's available off the bench tonight, but that's still TBD." Advertisement Infielder Ernie Clement will start at shortstop and hit sixth. Right-handed pitcher Jose Berrios (4-3, 3.26 ERA) will start against Yankees right-hander Will Warren (5-4, 4.37 ERA). Berrios had no earned runs allowed over his last two starts. Toronto will finish its series against New York on Thursday night before hosting the Los Angeles Angels over the weekend. After that, it will hit the road to face the Chicago White Sox and Athletics before returning home to play the San Francisco Giants and Yankees. The Blue Jays are tied with the Tampa Bay Rays for second place in the AL East.

Vladimir Guerrero Jr. earns the nod as all-star starter for the fourth time
It's five and counting for Vladimir Guerrero Jr., the face of the Blue Jays' franchise, whose $500-million contract extension kicks in next season. By the time his days in Toronto are completed, Vlad Jr. is almost certain to eclipse his father's all-star appearance total. His hall of fame dad was named nine times to baseball's mid-summer classic. Following the completion of Wednesday's voting, Vlad Jr. was named to his fifth career all-star game, which this year will be staged July 15 at Truist Park in Atlanta. Guerrero will start for the American League team at first base after he outpolled New York Yankees star Paul Goldschmidt. Guerrero earned 75% of the vote, marking the fourth time in his career to earn the starting nod. Vlad Jr. went on record last week when the Jays were in Boston that he won't take part in the home run derby. Teammate Alejandro Kirk also was one of two players on the ballot to determine the starting American League catcher. Although Kirk is in the midst of a successful season, his chances were next to none given the season Seattle's Cal Raleigh has posted in leading all of baseball with 33 home runs. In the first stage of voting, which determined the first two all-star starters, Yankees superstar Aaron Judge was the leading vote-getter in the AL, while L.A. Dodgers megastar Shohei Ohtani led the way in the National League.
