Aston Villa are leading the Jonathan David chase?

At least six stories link Jonathan David to many teams, especially the elite ones, during each transfer window. The Lille player helped the Ligue 1 team win the league title many years ago and has been a reliable goal scorer for them. The Canadian's contractual status may eventually allow him to transfer in the upcoming window. Given the several Premier League teams that the Canadian has been linked to, it is unlikely that any of them will be interested in signing him this time. Surprisingly, none of them require a striker with his kind of play, but Manchester United is said to be interested. The team wants a second center-forward to support Rasmus Hojlund.

Although Aston Villa appears to be leading the hunt for the €35 million-rated Canadian, David has long been the target of Manchester United. The Lille star may be the new attacker Unai Emery is looking for to join Ollie Watkins in the attack.
