Last month, we covered claims from Italy that Tottenham Hotspur are chasing Lille star Jonathan David. The north London club aren’t alone as Aston Villa are now added to the list of interested parties.
That’s at least what Tutto Juve are reporting, and they mention Tottenham and Aston Villa when covering the striker’s case.
The Canada international has managed eight goals and two assists from 13 games this season. It includes a winner against Real Madrid in the Champions League.
His performances for the club, especially in the Europe’s elite club competition, has seen several clubs take notice. The 24-year-old has less than a year left on his contract and the report claims he won’t sign an extension.
This makes the frontman a market opportunity for various clubs, including Tottenham and Aston Villa.
He expects a ‘huge salary’, with a signing on bonus and agent commission from his next club. This makes a potential deal difficult for AC Milan and Atlético Madrid, while Barcelona could look at other options because of their economic conditions.
Juventus continue to show interest in David, but they face a ‘danger’ from the Premier League. It’s claimed the Turin club have to ‘watch out’ for both Tottenham and Aston Villa in the race to sign the Canadian.
