David joined LOSC Lille from KAA Gent in the summer of 2020. In recent seasons, he has grown from strength to strength. In terms of the current season, he has taken his game to the next level. In all competitions, the 23-year-old has 23 goals and four assists.

His performances have sparked widespread curiosity throughout Europe. And a slew of clubs are gearing up for a bidding war to sign the Canadian international. David is presently the Ligue 1’s second-highest goal scorer, with 21 goals in 31 games. He is only one goal behind the league’s leading scorer, Kylian Mbappe.

While his contract with Lille runs until the summer of 2025, the 23-year-old is expected to leave in the upcoming transfer window. His signatures might be worth up to €65 million. Chelsea, on the other hand, is eager to add David to their ranks. The Blues have spent a lot of money on new players in the last several transfer windows, but they haven’t gotten the expected results. Throughout the season, the Blues have struggled to find the back of the net.

They lack a solid forward and plan to bring in a new number nine for next season. Chelsea is impressed with David and is willing to go to any length to sign him. In the meanwhile, the Blues will face competition from Manchester United.

The Red Devils have failed to find a replacement for Cristiano Ronaldo. In addition, they are eager to bring in a new high-profile forward ahead of the upcoming season. Erik ten Hag is looking for someone to help Marcus Rashford share the goal scoring load, and David’s numbers suggest he could be a good fit.

Tottenham are willing to outbid Manchester United and Chelsea for David’s signature.At the moment, Harry Kane’s future at the club is questionable. Moreover, despite the absence of a manager, the club is already planning for the future.

They appreciate David’s profile and believe he can hold onto the striker position for a long time. With Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, and Chelsea all keen to sign the Ligue 1 star, it will be intriguing to watch who comes out on top.
